Grade Scale Calculator FAQ

Common questions about letter grades, GPA points, and school-specific scales.

How is the letter grade selected?

The calculator compares the percentage against a common plus/minus grade scale, where A+ starts at 97%, A starts at 93%, and D- starts at 60%.

What is the difference between 4.0 and 4.3 GPA scales?

On a standard 4.0 scale, A+ and A both count as 4.0. On a 4.3 scale, A+ counts as 4.3 while the rest of the scale stays the same.

Should I use this exact scale for my class?
