I'm kinda confused here. How do you convert a B- grade to GPA? I'm working on my college planning and could use any help, thank you!
Hey there! You're not alone; it can be a little tricky to convert letter grades to a GPA, but I've got your back. In most cases, a B- is equivalent to a GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale. Please note that different schools sometimes have different scales, but in general, a 2.7 is the standard equivalent of B- in the U.S. educational system. Also, remember that when you're calculating your GPA as part of your college planning, keep in mind the concept of 'weighted' and 'unweighted' GPAs as well. AP or honors classes might earn you more points than standard classes. For example, a B- in an AP class would be weighted higher on the GPA scale, potentially earning a 3.7 instead of a 2.7. Good luck with your college planning!
