Quick question, if I have been scoring Bs, what would my GPA look like? I understand that different systems might have varying conversions, but a general idea would relieve a bit of my anxiety.
A letter grade of B generally corresponds to a GPA between 3.0 and 3.3, depending on whether it's a B- (around 2.7) or a B+ (around 3.3). Do keep in mind that different school systems might vary slightly with these conversions. The scale used by many schools in the U.S. designates an A range (A-, A, A+) as 4.0, B range as 3.0, C range as 2.0 and so forth. Advance courses such as Honors or AP might have higher weightage and can push your GPA higher than 4.0. Therefore, a consistent B grade is generally a strong academic performance showing competence in the subject matter.
