* A (Excellent): 90-100%
* B (Good): 80-89%
* C (Average): 70-79%
* D (Passing): 60-69%
* F (Failing): Below 60%
Important Considerations:
* Plus and Minus Grades: Many systems use plus and minus grades (e.g., A-, B+, C-) to provide finer distinctions within each letter grade. The cutoffs for these will vary, but generally:
* A- = 87-89%
* B+ = 83-86%
* B- = 77-79%
* C+ = 73-76%
* C- = 67-69%
* D+ = 63-66%
* D- = 57-59%
* Variations: Some institutions might use a different percentage scale, or even different letter grades entirely. Always check your institution's grading policy or syllabus for the specific grading scale used in your courses.
Always refer to your school's specific grading rubric or ask your instructor for clarification if you're unsure about the grade ranges.
