How to Calculate Test Grade?
The process behind the calculator is simple and involves just a bit of math. Here's how to do it:
Formula:
| Percentage Grade = |
| ( |
| Number of Correct Answers | | | Total Questions |
|
) |
× 100 |
|
After finding the percentage grade, you can compare it with a grading scale to determine the letter grade.
Example 1:
Let's say your test had 50 questions, and you answered 44 correctly. Find the test score.
Using the formula:
Now, based on a standard grading scale:
- A = 90-100%
- B = 80-89%
- C = 70-79%
- D = 60-69%
- F = Below 60%
So, the letter grade for 88% = B.
Example 2:
You took a quiz with 35 questions, but only got 12 right.
This means your letter grade for 34% is an F.
