<p>I'm just wondering about how percentages are usually converted to a 4-point scale. For example, what would a 4.0 or 3.9 be? I'm asking because my grades are all given in percentages (I'm Canadian) and I'm curious about where my GPA stands. Please don't just tell me that an A is a 4.0 because I have no idea what an A is by American standards (an A- here starts at 80). Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I actually was wondering about the A and A- difference in GPA.</p>
<p>But at my school, A+ is 97-100, A is 93-97, and A- is 90-93, although nice teachers will sometimes grade an 89 as an A (87-90 is usually a B+). This is just for my school- it may vary.</p>
<p>I think an A and above is a 4.0. My school’s on the 4.333 scale</p>
<p>So an A- would count as 3.0?
What exactly is the usual starting point of an A? 93? Our A starts at 87, but that’s much too low (or else everyone would have 4.0s!), so I’m really confused.</p>
<p>Depends on the school.
At my school, it’s 94. I’ve never heard of anywhere being higher.</p>
<p>@OrchidBloom-An 87 is an A at your school???..you just flipped my world upside down.</p>
<p>^
Does the 87 actually count as a 4.0, though?</p>
<p>My world is flipped upside down whenever someone’s school considers 90 an A. I know that’s how they do it in college, but high school is so much easier…I don’t get it.</p>
<p>Lol yeah, an 87 is an A in my province I think. It actually used to start at 85, but then it got changed. We don’t get a GPA based on a 4.0 scale though, so I feel like it doesn’t actually count as a 4.0? Because if it did, a 4.0 would be a joke at my school. I guess I’ll just take it as 4.0 = 94+ to be on the safe side :)</p>
