According to wiki: Grade Percentage GPA value A 90-100 3.5-4.0 B 80-89 2.5-3.49 C 70-79 1.5-2.49 D 60-69 1.0-1.49 F 0 - 59 0.0 Is that how it works? 80's in university if not exactly bad. I had A+ (high 90s) in high school, now I'm sitting at B+ (high 80s) cumulative... | ||

A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 at most U.S. colleges, I believe | ||

A- = 3.7 (90-94) B+ = 3.3 (87-89) B = 3.0 (84-86) B- = 2.7 (80-83) and so on... | ||

edit: and how do you get assigned your grades (in terms of A B C D E)? are your tests graded by letters as well, and then they do an average of the letters? or is everything graded in percentages, then they convert this percentage to a letter grade (if this is the case, isn't it better to just give out the percentage?) | ||

Everything is done in percentages and they also give a letter grade on transcripts where I went. The school I went to had completely different ranges for grades then those posted in this thread. edit: The grades Grobyc posted are very similar to what my school used. | ||

No, it just means they mark a lot harder. Where I went it was almost impossible to get an A+, which was 90%. Average grades in classes were 65-73%(C+/B-). | ||
