Hey, I recently did a project where the total possible mark was 20 and I received a 14. Can someone help me understand this as a grade? Percentage scale would be preferred, but GPA would also be appreciated!
On a percentage scale, you'd calculate your grade by dividing the score you received (14) by the total possible score (20) and then multiply that by 100 to get the percentage. So, 14/20 equals 0.7, and 0.7 100 equals 70. So, your grade would be 70%.
In terms of GPA, it's a bit more complicated because different schools and institutions have their own specific scales, typically on a 4.0 or 5.0 scale. However, generally, a 70% might fit into a 1.7-2.0 GPA range on a 4.0 scale. But remember, this is a rough estimate and may vary based on different grading systems.
