Common questions
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.
How many points is each letter grade worth on a test?
On the standard scale, each letter band spans 10 percentage points, so on a 50-point test a letter grade is about 5 points, and on a 20-point quiz it's about 2. That's why one careless mistake matters more on short assessments — a single 2-point question on a 20-point quiz is an entire letter grade.
