Grading Scale

Grades are used as a quantitative measure to indicate a student’s academic progress. King Graduate School transcripts record letter grades. Each letter grade has a numerical value (on a 4 point scale), and a numerical average range (on a 100% scale). The King Graduate School grading scale is as follows:

Grade  Value  Definition 
A 4.0  Excellent 
B+  3.5  Very Good
