Factors affecting your result
Use your institution’s point scale. No universal letter-grade mapping is assumed.
Changing course grade points changes the scenario being evaluated. Adjust one input at a time when comparing results, keep a copy of the assumptions, and compare values using the same unit and period. A precise arithmetic result does not make an uncertain assumption precise.
