Is a B- a bad grade?

Question

Hey,

Im still in High School but i took a college course over the summer and the professor gave me a B-. I was wondering is that good or bad b/c we use numbers in my school....thanx in advance=]

Answer 1

Good

Answer 2

No a B- is not a bad grade. How the letter grades work is an "F" and you fail, a "D" is below average, a "C" is average, a "B" is a little above average, and an "A" is exceedingly well. Now what the minus means is that you were half way in between a "B" and a "C". The scale, from excellent to failure is (A+,) A, (A-, B+,) B,( B-, C+,) C, (C-, D+,) D, and F.

There is no D- because that would be the same thing as an F+ and if you get an F, you get an F. No pluses or minuses. The ones in parentheses mean that they mean the same thing. An A- = B+, B- = C+, and so on.

Hope I helped and didn't cause any further confusion.

Great Job on the B-, keep it up! Try for the A too though.  

Answer 3

Getting a B- in a college course is a good grade. Make it a habit to keep your grades up when you are in college. (Get a B or A). Don't settle for less. Have a bring future!

Answer 4

I think it's just above average, which is okay. It's passing, at least, but not great. B is usually good, but the minus puts it just on the cusp of a C, which is the letter grade equivalent of saying "meh."

A = Excellent

B = Good

C = Average

D = Below Average

F = Fail

Answer 5

A B- is good but your great for caring about it ;)

Answer 6

A B- is good. The average grade is a C. So you are above average = ]  

Answer 7

no i don't think it is, pretty good i think

Answer 8

definitely not! good job on getting B- ... i'd say about C is a good grade, and anything below not satisfying for others...but it depends on your personal ambitions. B- is great- and with further work you could progress more. don't be too down on yourself, just keep in your mind that B- is excellent, and i'm sure many didn't get that! so well done and keep up the hard work!
