How does the +/- transfer in the TMDSAS system?
I have a B+'s in Gen Chem and I was wondering what GPA they would be in TMDSAS

They are converted into Bs.
This is how the dental schools will see it.
A- = A
B- , B+= B
C-, C+= C

So a B+ will be a 3.00?

Unfortunately, yes. I guess that is how TMDSAS standardizes grades because some schools have a +/- system and some do not.

Hey so is it better to get an A-. Because I am stressing on this phyiso course,hard course at our school for some reason, I can get an A maybe 90 percent chance, but a backup will be an A-, so it would still be an A right so a 4.00? So if I took Ochem I should aim for an A-, than a B+? Also does this count towards GEC like if I got a A-in art class or something lol?
I dont know sorry for my ignorance but this seems really cool to plan out how well to do in classes

Follow this then for TMDSAS:
An A no longer possible? Aim for an A-.
An A- no longer possible? Aim for a B-.
A B- no longer possible? Aim for a C-.
Hopefully, you don't get anything lower...
All of your letter grades will be converted to letter grades no matter what. In this case, (-) grades benefit more because they are converted to the standard neutral letter grades if you know what I mean. Sometimes, things don't go our way no matter what so it is best to keep things real and not stress too hard if you can't control it any more. Unless you are failing. lol

So my goals used to be an A, but I can feel much better and not get stressed if I get an A- lol. Also so for those people who post their GPA and stats they are using this scale correct?
By the ways thanks for the help mate.
P.S. It sucks if you get a B+, but it is standardized so really its fair for everyone so cant complain

You are very welcome buddy. Correct. The people who post their stats are using the TMDSAS/AADSASgpas which is what adcoms will see.
Remember, unlike TMDSAS, AADSAS counts +/- grades.
The only thing I can think of that +/- grades will benefit or hurt you is if you are trying to graduate with honors or applying out of state. Other than that, Texas standardizes everything.

Yes. Only Texas takes out +/-.
The rest of the schools counts them. Are you a Texas resident?
Just for clarification purposes... when you apply using TMDSAS, it takes out +/-.
When you apply using AADSAS, it includes +/-.

Darn. I'm didn't mean to get your hopes up bud. Just do your best. An A- won't keep you out of dental school.
@Dentase i'm pretty sure if you're OOS and want to apply to Texas schools you can choose either TMDSAS or AADSAS...
Just here to say that @DentalLonghorn2014 is correct...coming from someone with an A-
