BOOK: Family & Consumer Sciences I- CIMC Grading Scale: 90-100=A 80-89 =B 70-79 =C 60-69 =D 59 and below =F The above grades are percentages. As I grade your daily work, I will be using a point system. For example, you may see 20/25 as a score. This means you received 20 points out of a possible 25 for that assignment. If at anytime you want to know what percentage that is, you will calculate it in the following manner. Score 20/25 Divide the top score (20) by the bottom possible points (25) 20/25=.8 multiply by 100 (.8x100=80%) All test are worth 100 points, all quizzes are worth 50 points. Assignment scores will vary depending on the length and difficulty.
