Susann Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 OK, so I'm finishing up my dd's transcript. It's so purdy, in a functional, mom did it herself kinda way:) Anyway, the only thing left is to throw on the grades which brings me to my question. Everything my dd has done has the final grade as a percentage. I need to change the percentages into letter grades. Would anyone chime in on what their scale was for A, A-, B+, etc...? Also, I have three boxes across the bottom. One for Academic Summary (credits earned, GPA, Grading scale), one for Test Scores (SAt 5/2009, PSAT (10/2008), on one for Extracurricular Activities (clubs, awards, part-time jobs) is this alright? Nothing like waiting till the last minute is there?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 On my daughter's transcript, I used a 90 - 100 equals an A and so on for the scale. I included the total credits and her overall GPA; I also included test scores. I did not mention any awards other than the fact that she was a National Merit Commended Student and an AP Scholar. Transcripts come in a variety of forms. Your ideas sound fine to me. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheWhoWaits Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Here's mine. A+=100; A=95-99; A-=92-94; B+=89-91; B=85-88; B-=80-84; C+=78-79; C=75-77; C-=72-74; D+=70-71; D=68-69; D-=65-97; F=0-64. My kids say my scale is too high and none of their friends have to work so hard for their grades. That's fine with me. I want them to learn the stuff, not just go through the motions.

Ellie Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I kept it simple: I didn't specify anything other than the letter grade--not A+, just A. The GPA isn't higher if there are pluses, KWIM? I also did not include ACT/SAT scores. Those scores will come directly from the scorer. BJUP has a transcript form you can write or type (if you have a typewriter, and who has those any more???) in grades, credits, etc. Extracurriculars are listed on the back of it. However, when I did transcripts for my umbrella school, I didn't include those on the transcripts. Parents would submit those separately to a college if needed.

TravelingChris Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 My scale is 90-100 A, etc. That is what is was where she started high school and what it now is again in the area we have moved to. I will probably put ACT or SAT score simply because a few colleges don't require separate score reports and I would like to save a few dollars.
