Hi everyone! I got a 16 out of 20 on my last assignment. Can anyone help me understand how to interpret this score in terms of percentage or letter grade?
Hi there! To convert your 16/20 grade score to a percentage, you can use the following formula: (your score / total possible score) x 100. In your case, you would calculate it as (16 / 20) x 100, which would give you an 80%.
As for the letter grade, grading scales can vary by institution, course, or even at the instructor's discretion. Here's a general guideline for converting your percentage to a letter grade:
A: 90-100%
B: 80-89%
C: 70-79%
D: 60-69%
F: Below 60%
Based on this scale, your 80% would translate to a B. However, it's important to check with your specific course or school to see what grading scale they use, as it may be slightly different.
