Question

I got an 80 on my college midterm. My husband says it's considered a C. I think it's a B. Who is correct?

Answer 1

It's a C .

85 is the lowest B

Answer 2

Depends on the grading scale of the particular college... there are not all the same.  Most colleges would consider that a B- in our area.

Answer 3

he's right, C

Answer 4

98 and up is A+

97-94 is A

93-90 is A-

89-88 is B+

87-84 is B

83-80 is B-  !!!

Answer 5

They're all right.  It depends on the grading scale.  The standard scale is based on a ten point system.  90-100 is an A, 80-89 is a B, 70-79 is a C, 60-69 is a D, and anything below 60 is an F.  However, more rigorous systems use a different scale.

Could be a B, could be a C.  Depends.

Answer 6

The college.  Check there grading scale in their handbook or see if it is on line.  Colleges have different grading scales.  Offhand, I would say it is a B-.
