Is a 82 a B- or B?

A 82 is a B- and is one percentage point below being a B. The cutoff for a B is a 83 minimum. However, teachers may sometimes give students the benefit of the doubt and round up to a B. This is especially true if your percentage is a fraction above a 82, like a 82.5, 82.75 or 82.9. If the B- is rounded up you would benefit from an additional 0.3 grade points in your GPA calculation.
