Hey, I've got a somewhat embarrassing question. My school mostly uses GPAs, but I got a grading sheet back for one of my assignments with an '82' on it. For anybody familiar with this numeric grading scale, can you please clarify it for me? What letter grade does '82' translate to?
Not at all an embarrassing question! Grading systems can indeed be tricky to navigate especially if your school usually uses a different system. In the most common numeric grading systems, an '82' usually translates to a 'B-' letter grade.
However, this can vary between schools and regions, as grading scales are not universally standard. Some may categorize an '82' as a ‘B’. You should check your school's specific grading policy or consult with your teacher for the most accurate information. Students often find it helpful to understand how their grades translate across different grading systems, so don't hesitate to ask your teachers or school administrators for clarity!
