I wonder if there is a logical reason to grade on a 4.6 scale.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 08-05-2012, 11:53 AM.

I would assume it's the same reasoning that they changed gymnastics scoring in the Olympics. You could get routine perfection on an easy routine, but does that mean you deserve a 10, compared to someone who did a much more difficult routine, had a mistake or two, and was punished for trying something harder?

If you were to make each credit worth 0.3 points, he took 14 credits worth of classes. I almost said 0.2, but that might be a bit excessive (23 credits). Of course, it would make A/B/C/D/E a little easier (0.05 GPA reduction).

DrD's suggestion of it being a standard 0-4 scale with 4.3 being A+ and 4.6 being A++ makes some sense to me in this grade-inflation era.
