Quick question: is a 91 considered an A by most colleges? I received a 91 on an assignment and I'm trying to figure out how this might affect my GPA. Thanks!
The grading scale used at high schools and colleges can vary, but generally, a 91 is considered an A- or an A, depending on the specific grading scale. Most schools follow a 4.0 GPA system, where A's are worth 4.0, B's are worth 3.0, C's are worth 2.0, and so on. In some cases, there might be a slightly different GPA scale that differentiates an A (93-100) with a 4.0 value from an A- (90-92.99) with a 3.7 value.
Remember that individual assignment grades have a smaller impact on your overall GPA than the final course grades you receive at the end of each semester. An isolated 91 on an assignment shouldn't greatly affect your overall GPA, as long as you continue to perform well in other coursework.
Ultimately, to determine how a 91 on an assignment will affect your GPA , you'll want to consult your school's grading policies and understand the grading scale utilized. Your school's guidance counselor or your specific class's instructor should be able to provide you with more information on how grades are calculated and reported.
