Why would you want a lower grade?

They are the same grade on your transcript: a B. But when you get an 89.5 you go crying to the teacher and plead him/her to add 0.01 to your grade whereas if you get a 85 you like whatever and when you get a 79.5 your like "YES!! I GOT A B!!!"

well, they're both B's and an 89.4 can't round up to a 90 I think that's why

One is a B, while the other is a B+. I'd definitely rather have a 89.4 than a 85.

Agreed. And my teachers just round it up.

at my school, we just have Bs. So an 85% looks the same as an 89.4% on your transcripts :)

Same. At my school A 79.5 is the same grade as a 89.4.

this is just dumb

I always cry when I get a 89.4 because I was 0.01% away from getting an A. I'm okay with getting an 84 because I obviously deserved it and there is nothing I can do about it.
