What Does an B+ Grade Mean?

An B+ grade corresponds to a percentage range of 87% – 89.99% on the standard American 10-point grading scale. In terms of academic quality points, an B+ awards 3.3 grade points on an unweighted 4.0 collegiate scale. In Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, it typically yields 4.3 points on a weighted 5.0 scale.

How Does an B+ Affect Your Grade Point Average?

Because grade point averages are credit-weighted arithmetic means of quality points, receiving an B+ has a positive or stabilizing influence on your cumulative GPA depending on whether your current average is below or above 3.3.
