Answer 1

has*

Answer 2

isn't it the average of the grades?

Answer 3

I could have sworn I saw this question posted at one point before already. Must be deja vu kicking in or something

Answer 4

A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0

Answer 5

Yesterday he posted the same question, and yes it's a 1 - 10 average of grades.

Answer 6

@abb50 , dunno.

@Hero , posted it before too. But was unable to get the perfect answer.

Answer 7

it was the drugs hero

Answer 8

1 - 4*

Answer 9

No no 1 - 10 parth

Answer 10

@abb50, no it wasn't

Answer 11

Idk it's 1 - 10 in India and Pakistan

Answer 12

@Hero , what if a the grading also have A* ?

@ParthKohli , no. Not in Pak. I dunno about India.

Answer 13

If you get A minus it is like 3.8 or something

Answer 14

Mine was 9.8
A+ = 10
A = 9
B+ = 8
B = 7
C = 6
D = 5
E = 4
F = 0

Something like this.

Answer 15

No A- or anything.
Just A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,U
Where U is the failing grade,

Answer 16

Parth, is that your report card? By the way, a grade of E does not exist in USA

Answer 17

unless you're talking about Eggs or something

Answer 18

I got an one A and five A+ <=== example

(9 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10)/6

Answer 19

Trust me, you don't want Grade E eggs. They're disgusting

Answer 20

lol, in India they are.

Answer 21

What eggs? :O
@ParthKohli

Answer 22

lol^

Answer 23

I've never experienced bad ones like B+ and the lower
I only know about A+ and A :P

Answer 24

You would have had to have read everything I posted in order to understand

Answer 25

@Hero , so we add the points and divide by the number of subjects? Just like finding average.. ?

Answer 26

Yeah

Answer 27

Yup

Answer 28

like I stated right there

Answer 29

Divide by the number of grades you actually receive only

Answer 30

For example, in classes where a grade of "P" or "I" don't count as a grade

Answer 31

I had 1A, 5B, 1C and 1D

A* = 100-90
A = 89-80
and so on..

Answer 32

lol you get C's and D's

Answer 33

Son, it's CIE not a cake.

Answer 34

A = 100 - 90
B = 90 - 80
...

That still exists for grading papers here in the US. However, for the purposes of calculating GPA, it is

A = 4.0
B = 3.0

...etc.

Answer 35

So the moral of the story is, do not buy Grade E eggs.

Answer 36

\[\frac{3.8+5(3) + 2 + 1}{8}\]

Answer 37

Saif in the US your gpa would be

(4 + 5(3) + 2 +1 ) / 8

Hero, clearly Parth eats better eggs

Answer 38

2.7

Answer 39

How does that sounds like? o_O

Answer 40

Average

Answer 41

Borderline B-

Answer 42

but you guys have "E" so Id say your like 3.0

Answer 43

what is the percentile for each letter?

Answer 44

http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1080425
What about that^ ?

Answer 45

@eyust707 :
I had 1A, 5B, 1C and 1D

A* = 100-90
A = 89-80
B = 79-70
and so on..

Answer 46

Okay so with your scale use something like this:

A 4.0
B 3.7
C 3.0
D 2.3
E 2.0
F 1.3

Answer 47

\[4 + 5(3.7) + 3 + 2.3 \over 8\]

Answer 48

27.8 / 8 = 3.47500

but @eyust707 why aren't you taking A* into consideration?

Answer 49

my college doenst even have an A+

Answer 50

Tight scale. In the US a
B = 3.0
A - = 3.8

What country has 3.7 = B ?

Answer 51

We have A - but not A+. For A+, it is AH, which means A "with honors", but you don't get any higher GPA points

Answer 52

lol we dont even have AH

Answer 53

so how about we say:
here : US
A* = A
A = A-

Answer 54

This is how we do it in the US:

http://www.ncu.edu.tw/~joshua/gpa_charts.htm

Answer 55

Some professors consider >92 an A

Answer 56

but id say with most >= 93 is an A

Answer 57

So we end without a conclusion again? :D

Answer 58

It depends how you want to look at it.

Answer 59

Depends on which school you go to. I'd say for most mathematical, science-based, engineering-based schools, you have a tougher grading scale so 93+ = A in those kinds of schools.

Answer 60

If you were applying to a school in the sates they would use the scale I posted.

Answer 61

@eyust707 , idk how i look. I want to know how institutions look at them. lol

Answer 62

eyust, not every school in the US has that scale. You're thinking too limitedly. I just explained it to Saifoo.

Answer 63

Some schools have the
90 - 100 = A
80 - 90 = B

model

Answer 64

Most Non-mathematical based schools:
90 - 100 = A
80 - 90 = B
etc.

Mathematical/Science/Engineering Based:
93 - 100 = A
92 - 84 = B

etc.

Answer 65

We even don't get marks. ONLY grades.

Answer 66

Every large university in California uses the scale I posted or something similar to it. However, they also take into consideration the number of units.

Answer 67

Once again, you're speaking on behalf of "every university in California". California is not the only state in America

Answer 68

lol

Answer 69

Maybe in your world, but for the rest of the other 49 states, we'd probably be doing better financially as a country without Cali

Answer 70

Answer 71

Cali, holds more than a quarter of the US deficit alone I believe

Answer 72

...

Answer 73

lol

Answer 74

just sayin

Answer 75

I know

Answer 76

Thanks both btw! (:

Answer 77

Here's how they do it in the CSU system:

A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0

Multiply the grade value by the number of units. (Some classes are 3 units and some classes are 4 units). Add all of the numbers up and divide by the number of units taken.

Answer 78

No need to brag about your grading system @eyust707 :P

Answer 79

lol.
