Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 93% a 4.0 GPA?
Under the common plus/minus scale, yes: 93% and above typically falls in the A range, worth a full 4.0. Some schools set the A cutoff slightly differently (90% in a simpler A-to-F scale, for example), so confirm against your own syllabus.
Is an 80% a 3.0 GPA?
Not usually. Under the standard plus/minus scale, 80 to 82% typically falls as a B-, worth 2.7 grade points, not a flat 3.0. An 80% only equals a 3.0 GPA on a simpler scale that does not use plus/minus grading.
Is an 89% a 3.5 GPA?
Generally no. 89% typically lands as a B+ under the standard scale, worth 3.3 grade points. A 3.5 is not a standard single-letter-grade value on most plus/minus scales; it usually only appears as an average across multiple courses.
How do I convert my percentage grade to GPA?
Find your percentage on the standard scale to get its letter grade, then use that letter’s GPA point value. For example, an 85% typically falls in the B range (83 to 86%), worth 3.0 GPA points.
Does every school use the same percentage-to-GPA cutoffs?
No. The cutoffs shown here reflect a common convention, not a universal standard. Some schools use a simpler scale without plus and minus grades, and exact percentage ranges can vary. Always check your school’s official grading scale.
