American Grading System by Nobody: 8:21am On May 21, 2015 |
In the US, most schools (including universities) use an A, B, C, D, and F letter-grading system. These letter grades can further be sub-divided into: A-, A, A+; B-, B, B+ etc. Generally, the distribution of scores for the letter grades are as follows: A = 90 and above B= 80-89 C= 70-79 D= 60-69 F= 0-59 In addition, in some classes, especially the mandatory classes needed for the completion of a Bachelors or Associate Degree, it is mandatory for a student to score 70 or higher in to pass the class. Cs are not that desirable either, because a C average student would find it difficult to get a high-paying corporate job. The maximum GPA score is a 4.0, and academic honors (Dean's list; Cum, Summa, and Magna cum laude) are awarded to students with a minimum of 3.5, 3.7, and 3.9 semester and CGPAs respectively. |

Jesuspikin77:I remember the first time I scored 76 on an essay, thinking I did great; until I learned that my score was only "average". |
