Do you hate your grading scale?

<p>What is it?</p>

<p>I love it. 93+ A.</p>

<p>Not particularly, although I don’t like the fact that A+ is not given by many teachers (although our grade scale is the same for every teacher, A+ is given at teacher’s discretion). If + and - are there for every other grade, why not reward the best students? That said, I wouldn’t get many A+, but they would help balance out my A-.</p>

<p>92+ is an A. :smiley: I know some schools where it’s 90+. That must be nice.</p>

<p>93+ A 90-92=A-.</p>

<p>I wish we could have A+'s that could balance out our A-'s, but the cumulative GPA capped at 4.0.</p>

<p>I don’t see why you’d want a 7 point scale. it would really stink to have that 90-92 = 3.0.</p>

<p>For me, I’d rather have 92-100=A 91=B because any time I get an A- it’s always a 92.</p>

<p>I hate my grading scale (A=100-90). Those tough AP’s that give you a couple B’s really kill your gpa when a B+ is a 3.0 rather than a 3.33. Also, if I get an A in a class, I GET AN A. I don’t just barely get an A-.</p>

<p>JDE1221, I’d gladly trade your grading scale for mine. Some teachers make it that you need a 95 to get a 4.0 and 94.9=A- 3.7. Because the school mandates 10 point grading scale but teachers get to decide where the +'s and -'s lie.</p>

<p>I would SO MUCH rather have a 90-100=A grading scale. Seriously.</p>

<p>BUT, the best grading scale of all would be this, that some schools in Florida have:
A+=97-100=4.67
A=93-96=4.33
A-=90-92=4.0
B+=87-89=3.67
B=83-86=3.33
B-=80-82=3.0</p>

<p>I WOULD SO LOVE THAT GRADING SCALE.</p>

<p>^ I would love that scale as well. :confused: I have the same one as JDE.</p>

<p>A:90-100
B:80-89
C:70-79
D:60-69
E:59.4
F:0-59</p>

<p>I’m okay with it.</p>

<p>I’m fine with it, and it makes sense. Too bad some teachers dishing out the grades don’t make sense. But the nice pushover teachers round up 89s to As, which is awesome. :)</p>

<p>A:90-100+
B:80-89
C:70-79
D:60-69
F:negatives-59</p>

<p>Whoa, teachers give grades lower than zeros ravenclaw???</p>

<p>I’ve never heard of that before.</p>

<p>our grading scale at my high school is mad weird</p>

<p>^What is the grading scale?</p>

<p>There is one teacher that teaches Chem and AP Chem that has an awesome grading scale:
91-100=A
87-90=A-
83-86=B+</p>

<p>And so on…</p>

<p>But it was way better before there were +/-'s.</p>

<p>We used to just be ABCDF and if there were +'s and -'s then my sister definitely wouldn’t be valedictorian. :P</p>

<p>But now we don’t even do class rank, so I have 0 chance at valedictorian, meaning no scholarships for valedictorian. :(</p>

<p>Whaaaaat.</p>

<p>90-100 A (4.0)
80-89 B (3.0)
70-79 C (2.0)
69-0 F (1.0 or no credit, I’m not sure)</p>

<p>so an 80 and an 89 are the same thing, joy</p>

<p>^No D? Given that C is average, it seems like there should be a “below average but not failure” option.</p>

<p>Go figure. We had Ds before 8th grade (70-73), but I guess parents complained, as they often do</p>

<p>I think it should be ABCDEF…it seems more logical.</p>

<p>Apparently in Maryland they give E’s, not F’s.</p>

<p>F for failure, makes sense.</p>

<p>Ten point grading scale, and we have B+'s and what not. B+ = 3.4, UW, 4.4 W</p>

<p>I think it should be
A-4.0
B-3.0
C-2.0
D-1.0
E-0.5
F-0.0</p>

<p>E would be like 55-65%</p>

<p>Or:</p>

<p>A: 90-100 - 5.0
B: 80-89 - 4.0
C: 70-79 - 3.0
D: 60-69 - 2.0
E: 50-59 - 1.0
F: 0-49 - 0.0</p>

<p>If you’re already going to make one change, might as well equalize increments.</p>
