<p>Does anyone have a clear definitive scale for a GPA (good, average, etc.)?</p>
<p>This is what one professor stated:</p>
<p>3.5-4.0- Superior
3.0- 3.5- Above Average
2.5-3.0- Average
2.0-2.5- Below Average
Below 2.0- Poor</p>
<p>Do you agree with this? His scale sounds pretty good to me.</p>
<p>It sounds good to me too.</p>
<p>There isn’t a clear scale for that.
It depend on what you are majoring in…
If you want to compare Mass Com. to Medic., it is not gonna work…</p>
<p>Anyways, I like this harsher one…
3.66-4.00 Superior/Excellent
3.33-3.66 Good
3.00-3.33 Above Average
2.50-3.00 Average
2.25-2.50 Below Average
2.00-2.25 Bad
Below 2.0 Poor and Sad :(</p>
<p>Here’s my personal one:</p>
<p>3.9-4.0: Excellent
3.8-3.9: Very Good
3.4-3.8: Good
3.0-3.4: Satisfactory
2.6-3.0: Basic Level
2.2-2.6: Unsatisfactory
0.0-2.2: Pathetic</p>
<p>Inflate each of these values by 2.5 for high school</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>AFPrep850, yours is harsh, but it is a good motivation to keep up with the grade.</p>
<p>I think AFP’s is perfect, at least for the top colleges.</p>
<p>Utep’s is pretty good for a public high school.</p>
<p>Apf’s is exactly like the one in my mind.</p>
<ul>
<li>A = Excellent or Superior; or top 10% (90 to 100) = 4.00
<ul>
<li>B = Above Average; or second 10% (80-89) = 3.00</li>
<li>C = Average; or third 10% (70-79) = 2.00</li>
<li>D = Below average, minimum passing grade (60-69); or fourth 10% = 1.00</li>
<li>F (Also N or E or U): Failure or Exceptionally Poor; or bottom 60% (0-59) = 0.00</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>How could a 1.0 be a minmum passing grade? You have to have a 2.0 to pass.</p>
<p>There are people getting a D-, which is 0.66. Those people probably want to get a academic prohibition. LOL</p>
<p>utep: i think the article meant minimum passing grade for classes which fall in the 60-69 range. For example I know that in all public high schools in nyc 65 is a minimum passing grade. below that you fail.</p>
<p>of course, i only copied a part of the article at wikipedia. they state that those grades vary from school to school and sometimes class to class.</p>
<p>personally as long as i get a B or above I’m happy.</p>
<p>In El Paso, TX high schools, a passing grade in high school is 70 and above.
UTEP’s minimum passing grade is a 2.0.</p>
<p>Hm… alright my scale is:
3.80-4.00: Not half-bad
0.00-3.79: Failing</p>
<p>P/F Should be </p>
<p>4.00 = perfect
anything below 4.00 = fail</p>
<p>not pass/fail</p>
<p>:D:D:D</p>
<p>BP’s system is how my college and my high school do it as far as assigning letter grades. Most places seem to have this but there are some exceptions (I know in some of the Catholic schools around here 93% is the highest A, a 92% would be a B).</p>
<p>As far as the 2.0 to pass, I think that states that a student can’t get too many D’s? Which leads me to believe systems like that are leading to grade inflation–teachers/profs may bump people up to a 70% just to get them to move on?</p>
<p>3.79 is failing? wow l0l…</p>
<p>College sure changes your perspective :p</p>
