What Grade Is A+?

An A+ is usually the highest letter grade. In many US-style grading scales, it means about 97-100%. On GPA scales, A+ is often worth 4.0, though some schools award 4.3.

Common A+ range

A common percentage band is 97-100%. Some schools use 95-100%, 90-100%, or do not use A+ at all.

Because grading policies vary, the official answer is always your class syllabus or school handbook.

A+ and GPA

Most 4.0 scales cap A+ at 4.0. A smaller number of schools give A+ a 4.3 value. Weighted high-school scales can make A+ worth 5.0 or more in advanced classes.
