Ok, I'm a little confused. AADSAS calculates G.P.A's on +/- scales, but I thought there was no such thing as an A+ or A- in college. I thought you just got an A. On my transcripts, it shows grades of A's and B's not A+ or A-.
How do I find out if I got an A+ or A- in a class if my transcript only shows an"A"? Can somebody please explain it to me. There is a lot of future dentists roaming this website, I'm sure somebody knows what's going on.
Thanks!

Some colleges give +/- on their grades...your school doesn't. There was a study done and when institutions use +/- system, GPAs are actually higher. I'm kinda glad I didn't have +/-, it seems like I got a 90.1% in every class I ever took!!
