Grade Conversion Scale

[Guest JMD500]

Can anyone post USask's conversion scale for GPA, or point to the post if this has already been done?

[Guest JMD500]

Maybe no one understood what I meant. Basically, what does each letter grade convert to in percent? Is an A+ worth 100% while an A is 95%, etc? How does it work?

 

Thanks again,

Hi JMD,

I think this was already posted, but I'm not too sure where. This is the conversion scale I was given:

 

A+ = 95%

A = 93%

A- = 84%

B+ = 78%

B = 75%

B- = 72%

C+ = 68%

C = 65%

 

Hope this is what you're looking for! Have a good Friday:)

For U of M, I was told that U Sask considers an A+ as 94%

Hmmm... I'm not too sure. Maybe check out this link? I hope it works!

the conversion scale is different between institutions. it makes sense because the A-/A/A+ are all different between institutions. for example, ucalgary's A is generally around a 90%+, whereas athabasca's A is at 85%. it isn't fair for someone who got straight As at ucalgary to receive the same straight A % of someone from athabasca.

 

so really, what i would suggest is e-mailing the office to ask what the scale is for your institution. there was someone on the board who later learned to his/her horror that the grade conversion scale that they used was inappropriate -- and therefore s/he did not receive an interview despite having a "straight A average".

 

when you do find out the scale for your school, please do post it here to add to the knowledge ~

 

note: sab's scale = ucalgary's scale too
