GPA Chart
What percentage is a 3.05 GPA? What letter grade is a 79? What GPA do four A's and a B come out to? Find it below, or run your real courses through the GPA calculator for an exact answer.
Percentage, Letter Grade and GPA
Find your percentage or GPA in the table below to read across. Values inside a band (like 3.05, which falls in the B range) share the same grade point as the rest of that band.
| Percentage | Letter grade | GPA (4.0 scale) |
|---|---|---|
| 97–100% | A+ | 4.00 |
| 93–96% | A | 4.00 |
| 90–92% | A- | 3.67 |
| 87–89% | B+ | 3.33 |
| 83–86% | B | 3.00 |
| 80–82% | B- | 2.67 |
| 77–79% | C+ | 2.33 |
| 73–76% | C | 2.00 |
| 70–72% | C- | 1.67 |
| 67–69% | D+ | 1.33 |
| 60–66% | D | 1.00 |
| Below 60% | F | 0.00 |
So a GPA anywhere from 2.90 to 3.29 sits in the "B" range most schools report as roughly 83-86%; a 79 is a C+ at 2.33. For a precise conversion at any decimal value, the GPA scale converter interpolates within these bands.
Common Grade Combinations
These assume every course carries equal credit hours — the most common classroom situation, but check your real credit hours with the GPA calculator if any of your courses differ.
| Grades (equal credit) | GPA |
|---|---|
| 5 A's | 4.00 |
| 4 A's, 1 B | 3.80 |
| 3 A's, 2 B's | 3.60 |
| 2 A's, 2 B's | 3.50 |
| 2 A's, 3 B's | 3.40 |
| 1 A, 4 B's | 3.20 |
| All B's | 3.00 |
| 4 B's, 1 C | 2.80 |
| 3 B's, 2 C's | 2.60 |
| 2 B's, 3 C's | 2.40 |
| All C's | 2.00 |
| 3 C's, 2 D's | 1.60 |
| All D's | 1.00 |
Using whole-letter grade points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1) rather than plus/minus values, since that's how most of these combinations are actually asked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA is a 79?
79% falls in the 77-79% band, which is a C+ and a 2.33 GPA on the standard scale.
What GPA is 4 A's and 1 B?
Assuming equal credit hours for all five courses, four A's (4.0 each) and one B (3.0) average to (4×4.0 + 3.0) ÷ 5 = 19.0 ÷ 5 = 3.80.
Why do these lookups give an approximate answer?
A GPA depends on credit hours, not just letter grades — the combinations table above assumes every course carries equal credit, which is the most common case but not universal. For a real, credit-weighted answer, use the GPA calculator with your actual course list.
