What is your grading scale?

I see a lot of different posts talking about grades and wonder what their grading scale is.

My school uses a 10 point scale as well as rounding. So an 89.5 is an A, 79.5 a B, and so on. We also do not have pluses or minuses, which is nice at times but not so nice at others. I'll take it though, especially given the grading scale and the rounding.

In my program (entry level CNL Master's degree) you must maintain a 3.0 at all times or you have to repeat the course you got a C in. There are also certain courses, such as patho, you must get an A or B in to continue, no matter what your cumulative GPA is.

What about you?

Ours is;

93-100%=A

85-92%=B

78-84%=C

Anything below 78% is a fail. There's no rounding (if you get a 92.999 it's a B).

Here's our grading scale (Gateway Community College - AZ):

92% -100% = A (299 - 325 points)

84% - 91% = B (273 - 298 points)

76% - 83% = C (247 - 272 points)

**A minimum score of 76% average on quizzes/finals is needed to pass the course. NO ROUNDING!!! 75.9% is not passing.

68% - 75% = D (221 - 246 points)

67% and below = F (0 - 220 points)

We have 10 quizzes during the course, a lab final, and a comprehensive final.

Hope this helps!
