Understanding the U.S. Grading System and How to Use Our Grade Calculator
The United States education system uses a standardized grading scale that typically ranges from A to F, with corresponding grade point averages (GPA) that help quantify academic performance. Most institutions use a 4.0 scale where:
- A = 4.0 (90-100%)
- B = 3.0 (80-89%)
- C = 2.0 (70-79%)
- D = 1.0 (60-69%)
- F = 0.0 (Below 60%)
Many courses use weighted grading systems where different assignments and exams carry different percentages of your final grade. Our grade calculator helps students determine their current standing in a course and calculate what scores they need on remaining assignments to achieve their desired final grade.
How to Use the Grade Calculator
- Add all completed assignments with their grades and weights
- Include any upcoming assignments with their weights
- Click calculate to see your current grade
- Experiment with different scores to see how they affect your final grade
The calculator supports both letter grades and percentage scores, automatically converting them to numerical values for calculation. Weight values should total 100% across all assignments. For college students tracking their GPA, this tool can help maintain academic standing and plan study strategies effectively.
