People will bitch but IMO, plus/minus is a better system. It offers a better representation & more precisely pinpoints how a student did in a class

Is this the same as different GPA points for each letter grade?

Yes. If you make an A- in a class, it's a 3.7 or something like that. Not a 4.0.

Glad I got out before this nonsense. I was the king of 79.5's.

Yeah I think you're right.

I just don't think a 3.0 and 3.9 should be weighted the same , 2.0 and 2.9, etc

It'd help you then

79.5's wouldn't count as a 2.0 anymore; it'd count as 2.7

Eta: I misread your post, I thought you said it would hurt you

B+ = 3.2 (I think)
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7 (I think)

So what does an A constitute? And how does an A plus work?
