A D+ letter grade is equivalent to a 1.3 GPA, or Grade Point Average, on a 4.0 GPA scale, and a percentage grade of 67–69.
Q. Is 67 a good grade?
A score of 67% overall is a failing grade (as much as a 0% on an individual task). A student must have taken some zeroes on some of the tests or quizzes, or exam to perform this poorly. A 67% on an individual test, quiz or exam is automatically a 0% score. Yes, a 67% is a pretty bad grade.
Q. Is 70% a good mark?
70% or above is the top band of marks. It is still relatively rare for a student to receive higher than an 80%, though it does happen. Anything in the 60% range—what is known as a 2:1—is considered a “good” grade.
Q. Is 70% a first?
Scores above 70% are classed as “First”, so you should be very excited to get a grade in that range. It is rare for students to achieve grades higher than 90%, though this can happen.
Q. Is 95 a good grade?
90–92 is considered an A-. 93–95 is considered an A. 96–100 is considered an A+. My best subject is English and I got a 95 as my final grade average.
