<p>It really does depend on the instructor.
My French professor in college didn’t round up my 89.7%. Oh well, no big deal I suppose.</p>
<p>Also, I really wouldn’t worry too much. Not one person will ever care about that B+ instead of an A-. As long as you have the knowledge from the class, even if you got close to all B’s I honestly don’t think it would have made a difference for second semester senior year.</p>
<p>I think it also depends on how much EC a teacher is willing to give. Take my Physics teacher, for example - we have EC opportunities pretty much every week, so he refuses to round (and with good reason). If it’s some other teacher, they’d probably hear you out.</p>
<p>We never have extra credit ever… Oh well.</p>

When comparing two schools, is there an objective measure of if one has grade inflation or if the other has grade deflation? And, more importantly, who gives a ****?</p>
<p>My school doesn’t do A+, A-, B+, etc. It’s just a regular A, B, C, D, or F. The grading scale for an A is 89.5% and up, and the teachers at my school usually round you up if you are border line. One of my friends was at 89.49, a B, and my teacher was nice to round it up. I think ll schools should have that extra 0.5% for those that are super close and have worked hard to reach an A.</p>
<p>At my school for all my classes, 89.5 and up is considered an A. My Ap Chem teacher always “fluffed” our grades towards the end of the grading period.</p>
