Hi everyone, I got an 84 in one of my classes and I'm unsure how to convert it to a GPA on the 4.0 scale. Could someone explain or provide a resource on how to do this?
Converting an 84 to a GPA can vary depending on the specific grading system used by your school, but I can provide a general guideline. Typically, an 84 would fall into the B range. The GPA scale is often as follows:
A (90-100) = 4.0
B (80-89) = 3.0
C (70-79) = 2.0
D (60-69) = 1.0
F (below 60) = 0.0
Since your grade of 84 is within the B range, your approximate GPA for that class would be a 3.0. Keep in mind that different schools may have slightly different grading scales, and some might use "pluses" and "minuses" (e.g., B+ or B-). When calculating your cumulative GPA, you'll need to average the GPA from each class you've taken.
For a more specific calculation, you can ask your school counselor, as they will know the exact grading system used at your school and can help you convert your numerical grade to a GPA on a 4.0 scale.
