1. What is a Sliding Scale Grade Calculator?

The Sliding Scale Grade Calculator determines your letter grade based on your percentage score and the selected grading scale. It supports standard, college, and custom grading scales.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple comparison:

\[ Grade = \begin{cases} A & \text{if score } \geq A_{min} \\ B & \text{if score } \geq B_{min} \\ C & \text{if score } \geq C_{min} \\ D & \text{if score } \geq D_{min} \\ F & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

Where:

\( A_{min}, B_{min}, C_{min}, D_{min} \) — Minimum percentages for each grade
Default values vary by selected scale

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Understanding your letter grade helps assess academic performance and determine if you're meeting course requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your percentage score (0-100) and select a grading scale. For custom scales, specify the minimum percentages for each grade.
