I'm trying to get a sense of what a 2.0 GPA looks like in terms of grades. Can someone explain it in terms of letter grades or percentage ranges? Thanks in advance!
A 2.0 GPA typically correlates to a letter grade of a C average. To provide a clearer breakdown, here's how letter grades generally correspond to GPA and percentage ranges:
- A (4.0 GPA) = 90-100%
- B (3.0 GPA) = 80-89%
- C (2.0 GPA) = 70-79%
- D (1.0 GPA) = 60-69%
- F (0.0 GPA) = Below 60%
So, a 2.0 GPA would indicate that a student's average grade across their courses is in the 70-79% range, which is considered a C. Keep in mind that different schools and teachers may have their own specific grading scales, but the above percentages and their corresponding GPA values are a general guideline.
