Letter grades are categories

For GPA records, a grade-band conversion is stepped: 89% and 87% can both be B+, while 90% changes to A−. That is different from a proportional converter, which changes continuously with every point.

Check plus/minus treatment

For GPA records, some institutions omit plus and minus grades, cap A+ at 4.0, or assign A+ 4.33. Select the table published by the organization making the decision. The final GPA note retains this method context.
