Why the percentage cutoffs aren't universal

The GPA points column here (A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, down to F = 0.0) is close to universal across US schools using a standard plus/minus 4.0 scale. The percentage-range column is not - it's a common convention, but individual schools and even individual courses sometimes shift the exact cutoffs by a point or two, or skip plus/minus grading entirely. If a specific decision depends on the exact number, check your school's syllabus or registrar page rather than relying on this table alone.
