<p>Does anyone know, what the grading scale is for an A, B, C, etc? I understand how final grades are converted into GPAs but I'm wondering if my D got an 84 on a test, is that considered a solid B or borderline C? In high school, 92-100 was an A, 84-91 is a B, etc. I'm not seeing how grades are calculated to give that letter grade though.</p>
<p>At Lafayette, the typical grade equivalent for most courses is</p>
<p>A = 93 - 100
A- = 90 - 92.9
B+ = 87 - 89.9
B = 83 - 86.9
B- = 80 - 82.9
C+ = 77 - 79.9
C = 73 - 76.9
C- = 70 - 72.9
D+ = 67 - 69.9
D = 63 - 66.9
D- = 60 - 62.9
F - 59.9 and lower</p>
<p>Of course, this isn’t the norm and there are some professors who I’ve taken a class with who have their own grading scale.</p>
<p>w.r.t. borderline C or borderline B, again most professors take judgment calls on that. there’s no standard for all the professors that they have to adhere to.</p>
