What is a "grading scale"?
A grading scale is a system used to convert students' performance into letter grades or numerical values, providing a standardized way to evaluate academic achievement. In most grading scales, higher grades like A or 90-100% represent excellent performance, while lower grades such as D or below 60% indicate poor performance. The grading scale may vary by institution or country, but it generally helps teachers, students, and schools communicate academic progress and determine outcomes like passing or failing. Grading scales may include additional symbols or classifications, such as pluses and minuses, to offer further detail about performance.
