<p>I live in Ontario, and we have percentage grades here (out of 100).
I was wondering how I can compare my marks against US marks and judge whether my marks are good enough.
I know people in the USA typically look at about a 4.0 GPA as competitive and I'd like to know what would be the equivalent here.
I've heard things like 93-100% being about a 4.0, and stuff like AP courses being considered with +5% or so and I'd like to know if any of that is true.</p>
<p>Typically, grade points are represented by:</p>
<p>4.0 = A (90-100%)
3.0 = B (80-89%)
2.0 = C (70-79%)
1.0 = D (60-69%) (my school used 65-69%)
0.0 = F</p>
<p>Of course, it mostly depends on the school or school district, but the above is pretty typical. AP classes usually add 1 point, so an A in an AP class is 5.0. However an F in an AP class would most likely be 0.0 (that’s how it was done at my HS).</p>
