Hey y'all, quick question. I've got an assignment that was graded as 11 out of 12. What does that translate to as a percentage? And how might that impact my GPA? Just trying to figure this out. Thanks!
Hey there! To convert your assignment scoring to percentage, you just need to divide the score you received by the total possible score and then multiply by 100. So, in your case, (11 ÷ 12) 100 = 91.67% (approximated to 2 decimal places).
As for its impact on your GPA, it's complicated to say because GPAs usually depend on the credits allocated to every subject, and the way your school calculates GPAs. Generally, your grade in each course contributes to your overall GPA in proportion to the number of credit hours that course carries. For example, having a full year, 1.0 credit course with an A will have twice as much impact as half year, 0.5 credit course with a B.
If your assignment significantly makes up a large part of your course grade and you consistently score similarly, that's when you might see a bigger impact on your GPA. Always consider it in the bigger picture of your course grade and your overall grade point average. Hope this helps!
