Definition: This calculator converts percentage scores into standard letter grades (A-F) based on common academic grading scales.
Purpose: It helps students, teachers, and educators quickly determine letter grade equivalents for numerical scores.
The calculator uses the following standard grading scale:
90-100% = A
80-89% = B
70-79% = C
60-69% = D
Below 60% = F
Explanation: The percentage score is compared against these ranges to determine the corresponding letter grade.
Details: Standardized grading helps maintain consistency across different courses, institutions, and evaluation methods.
Tips: Enter your percentage score (0-100) and click calculate to see the equivalent letter grade.
Q1: Do all schools use this exact grading scale?
A: No, some institutions may use different scales (e.g., 93% for A, 87% for B). Always check your specific institution's grading policy.
Q2: What about plus/minus grades (A-, B+, etc.)?
A: This calculator uses basic letter grades. For plus/minus scales, the ranges would need to be adjusted accordingly.
Q3: How are percentages rounded?
A: The calculator uses standard rounding (e.g., 89.5% would be treated as 90%).
Q4: Can I use this for weighted grades?
A: This calculator works with final percentage scores. If your grades are weighted, calculate the final percentage first.
Q5: What's the difference between this and GPA calculation?
A: GPA assigns point values to letter grades (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.) and calculates an average. This simply converts percentages to letters.
