So, what do you think is better? Personally, I like the x/100 average as it more accurately depicts a students strength. For example, a student A may get straight 80’s in high school and student B gets straight 89’s. They both would have the same 3.0/4.0 gpa but out of 100 it would really show the stronger individual. Just like how a 90 average isn’t the same as a 99 average but they are both 4.0’s (if they were straight A’s that is). What are your opinions on this?
