Hi guys, I recently got an 8 out of 10 on an assignment and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out what it equates to on a standard grading scale. Does anyone know whether this is considered a good grade or if there's a rough percentage or letter grade it corresponds to?
On most standard grading scales in the United States, an 8 out of 10 usually translates to an 80% or a B-. This is considered above average and it's a good grade, but it does indicate that there is some room for improvement. It's not the same across the board, however, as grading criteria and scales can vary from institution to institution, or even between different courses and professors within the same institution. You may want to check with your specific course syllabus or ask your instructor to get the most accurate understanding of your grade.
