Hey all, I'm a bit confused about how the 4.0 GPA scale works and how my letter grades convert to it. Can anyone help explain what an A- equates to on a 4.0 scale?
Hello! When converting letter grades to a 4.0 GPA scale, an A- usually translates to a 3.7. Here's a simple breakdown of the conversion:
- A+ / A: 4.0
- A-: 3.7
- B+: 3.3
- B: 3.0
- B-: 2.7
- C+: 2.3
- C: 2.0
- C-: 1.7
- D+: 1.3
- D: 1.0
- D-: 0.7
- F: 0.0
Keep in mind that some schools might use slightly different numerical scales, but this is the general conversion for most institutions. Make sure to check your school's specific grading policy to confirm your GPA calculation. Good luck!
