GPA for a B Average

Hello, friends! Quick question. If I'm averaging mostly B grades, how does that translate into GPA? Thanks!

Hello there! A "B" grade generally translates to a 3.0 on a standard 4.0 scale GPA. This can vary slightly depending on your high school's grading system, but generally here's a rough breakdown:

- An A (90-100%) usually translates to a 4

- A B (80-89%) usually translates to a 3

- A C (70-79%) usually translates to a 2

- A D (60-69%) usually translates to a 1

- An F (below 60%) usually translates to a 0

This, of course, is referring to an unweighted GPA. If you're taking Honors, AP, or IB classes (or other advanced coursework), your school might use a weighted GPA scale which could go up to 5.0 or even higher. A "B" in those classes usually translates to a greater value, often a 4.0, on a weighted scale.

Always verify how your school calculates GPA - your school's guidance office can give you the most accurate information, as grading scales can vary slightly based on the policy of schools.
