56/60 score - what's the letter grade?

Hi all! I recently got a 56 out of 60 on an exam, and I'm curious about what letter grade that would be. Any ideas on how I can figure this out? Thanks!

Hello! To determine the letter grade for your score of 56 out of 60, you first need to calculate the percentage and then compare it to your school's or your professor's grading scale.

Here's a simple method to calculate the percentage:

Divide your score (56) by the total points possible (60) and then multiply by 100.

(56/60) 100 = 93.3%

Now that you have your percentage (93.3%), you'll need to use your school's or professor's grading scale to determine the corresponding letter grade. Often, grading scales are provided in the syllabus or on the course website.

A common grading scale example is as follows:

A: 90-100%

B: 80-89%

C: 70-79%

D: 60-69%

F: Below 60%

Using this example scale, your score of 93.3% would be an A. However, please keep in mind that grading scales can vary, so it's essential to check your specific school's or professor's scale.
