<p>Would it be safe to say this is a pretty good scale to indicate Canadian gpa's?</p>

<p>A+ = 4.3 must be 90% and up
A = 4.0 must be between 85% to 89.99%
A- = 3.7 must be between 80% 84.99%
B+ = 3.3 must be between 77% to 79.99%
b = 3.0 must be between 73% to 76.99%</p>

<p>Wha...?</p>

<p>Talk about grade inflation.</p>

<p>At my school it's: A+ is a 97-100 (4.3), A is 94-96 (4.0), A- is 90-93 (3.7). The pattern repeats with a B+ being a 87-89 (3.3), B being 84-86 (3.0), and B- 80-83 (2.7), etc with C's and D's.</p>

4

<p>whoa.... 90-93% is A- ? </p>

<p>Man, I am going to get a low GPA... -_- ....</p>

5

<p>Dude, everyone's school isn't like that? I never knew this! What's an A- at your school?</p>

<p>This is CRAZY grade inflation! You can be in the 80s and still have an A? Why didn't I go to your school? The lowest grade I ever got a was a B+ (88%), and my GPA is only a 3.9/4.3!</p>

6

<p>no, this is talking about the difference in canadian grades to american grades.
Now I know there is no true way to convert because all schools are different, but I just want a general idea</p>

7

<p>Well, Canadian schools are known to be tougher, so maybe that's why an 80% could be the equivalent of an A- when compared to a school in the U.S.</p>

8

<p>Yes, that's about right. In most American schools, passing is a 65, and in Canada I think it's 50 or 55. So yeah, your numbers are pretty accurate because you have to compensate for that 15 point skew.</p>

9

<p>anybody else?</p>

10

<p>my school's probably the worst.
we have 93-100 for A (only 99-100 A+)
86-92 for B
78-85 for C
70-77 for D
69 and lower for F
I have never gotten lower than a 90 in a class, if i went to one of your schools I would have never gotten a B in my life (and these are honors/ap classes) anyone else go to a school with this scale?</p>

11

<p>I don't think people are understanding my question...... I am wondering if this is a good scale to convert canadian Percentages to american gpa's. I know everywhere is different but i wonder if this is a good basis</p>
