Converting a grade of 86 out of 100 to a GPA?

Hey everyone, got a score of 86 out of 100 in my recent exam and I'm curious to know what it would convert to in terms of GPA. Any ideas?

Hi there! Converting percentages to GPA does vary slightly from one school to another, but on many traditional GPA scales, a percentage of 86 out of 100 would usually convert to about a 3.0, given that it falls in the B range. If your school uses a weighted scale, that might be slightly different. It's also worth noting that grades from individual assignments or tests usually aren't directly converted into a GPA. Instead, the GPA is calculated based on your cumulative performance across all your classes in a semester or year. However, it's always a good idea to double-check with your school's specific grading scale or your guidance counselor to understand how your school specifically converts grades!
