Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What letter grade does a percentage score convert to?
Using a common absolute-grading scale: 95 and up is A+, 90–94 A, 85–89 B+, 80–84 B, 75–79 C+, 70–74 C, 65–69 D+, 60–64 D, and below 60 is F. These bands vary by school and instructor, so treat them as a reference.
Do conversion tables differ by school?
Yes. Absolute-grading bands (for example A+ at 95) and curved/relative grading differ by school and course. Curved courses cannot be derived from a percentage alone, and this tool's table is a common absolute-grading reference.
What is the converted grade point used for?
Convert each course's percentage to a letter grade, then enter them into the GPA calculator to estimate your overall GPA. Your instructor's assigned grade always takes precedence.
What if my score isn't out of 100?
First scale it to 100 (your score ÷ max × 100), then enter it. For example, 45 out of 50 becomes 90, so enter 90.
