<p>how does 4 B's equate a 3.693.....</p>

[ballpointpen]

<p>Our school has this system where a 4.0 is equivalent to an A+, while an A would be a 3.8, and an A- would be a 3.6 and so on. I know its weird haha but that is the number that shows up on our transcript. </p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>
