How do you read an academic grading scale?

Best Answer

Here is part of an academic grading scale:

A = 94-100%

A- = 90-93 %

B+ = 87-89 %

If your percentage is 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100, or any fractions between, like 94.001, then your grade on this grading scale is an "A."

The difficult part of reading such a scale is knowing what the teacher might do with scores that fall between the cracks; for example, what grade is 93.5%? It could be either an "A" or an "A-". Sometimes teachers round up to the next highest grade; sometimes teachers round up from, for example, 93 .5; Sometimes teachers do not deal with fractions. Ask your teacher how to interpret the grading scale more precisely.
