Depends on how the instructor wants to skew it - usually if a C- would help your overall GPA he instructor would grade it that way....

It depends on the scale that your school/instructor uses. They are either based on 8% or 10% breaks
10 % base
90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
60-69 = D
59 or lower = fail
8 % base
92-100 = A
84-91 = B
76-83 = C
68 - 75 = D
67 or lower = fail
So, a 70 is a C- on the 10% base; and a D on the 8% base.
The different universities that I have attended use the 8% base.

That all depends on the grading system of the school or the particular teacher giving the exam. Regardless, there is very little difference between a C- or a D+. Shouldn't you be striving for at least a B?

When I taught school in FL it was a C, when I taught school in Fairfax County, VA it was a D+. When I was in college 70 was still flat out a C, so it all depends on where you are...
