Based on the provided reference, there is no direct information on what an "AC grade" means. However, the reference details the grading scale as used in the US educational system. The reference shows a 4.0 GPA scale and the corresponding letter grades, percentages and their associated numeric values.
The provided reference shows letter grades ranging from 'C' to 'D', but it does not refer to any 'AC' grade. Based on this, it's highly probable that "AC grade" is not a standard academic grade. It's possible that it was intended to be interpreted as a "C" grade.
Here's a breakdown of the C grade and some of the lower grades, according to the provided reference:
| Letter Grade | Percent Grade | 4.0 Scale |
|---|---|---|
| C | 73-76 | 2.0 |
| C- | 70-72 | 1.7 |
| D+ | 67-69 | 1.3 |
| D | 65-66 | 1.0 |
Key Points:
- A "C" grade is equal to a 2.0 on the 4.0 scale.
- A "C-" is slightly lower, corresponding to a 1.7 on the 4.0 scale.
- A "D+" grade is equal to 1.3 on the 4.0 scale
- A "D" is the lowest passing grade with a 1.0 on the 4.0 scale.
It is possible that "AC grade" refers to a specific type of grading system used within an individual institution. However, without more context or reference information, it's impossible to say for sure. If the intention was to refer to a "C" grade, that would be a passing grade, with a numeric value of 2.0.
