How this is calculated
Divide the points earned by the points possible and multiply by 100: 13 ÷ 25 × 100 = 52%. On the common 10-point-band scale that lands in the F range — you'd have needed 23/25 to reach the A band.
Common questions
Do professors round up borderline grades?
Entirely at their discretion, and policies vary wildly: some round anything above .5, some round at .45, some never round, and some round only for students who attended office hours or showed improvement. If you're within half a point of a boundary, it is always worth a polite question — before finals week, not after grades post.
Is a 3.5 GPA good?
On the standard 4.0 scale, 3.5 sits between an A- and B+ average — comfortably above the typical US college average (around 3.1) and competitive for most graduate programs, internships and scholarships, though the most selective programs skew 3.7+. Trend matters too: an upward trajectory reads better than a flat one.
