After the grade scale is created, letter grades need to be entered as per requirement. Click on '+Add New Grades'. Put the title, Breakoff, Weighted GP value, Unweighted GP value & sort order & then click on Submit.
The Breakoff fetches the letter grades as per the scores. Here, A=90; when a student gets 90 & above he will be entitled to get an A.

The Weighted GP Value is entered to calculate GPA of the weighted courses (where "Course is weighted" option is on).
