Grade Calculator

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my grade calculated?

Your grade is calculated based on the total number of questions and the number of incorrect answers:

  • Number Correct = Total Questions - Wrong Answers
  • Percentage = (Number Correct / Total Questions) × 100
  • Letter Grade is determined based on a standard grading scale.

What grading scale is used?

The calculator uses a standard US grading scale:

  • 97% and above = A+
  • 93% – 96% = A
  • 90% – 92% = A-
  • 87% – 89% = B+
  • 83% – 86% = B
  • 80% – 82% = B-
  • 77% – 79% = C+
  • 73% – 76% = C
  • 70% – 72% = C-
  • 67% – 69% = D+
  • 63% – 66% = D
  • 60% – 62% = D-
  • Below 60% = F

What if I enter zero or leave fields blank?

If no values are entered, or if the total number of questions is zero, the results will remain hidden. This prevents incorrect calculations.

Can I use different grading scales?

Currently, this calculator uses a fixed grading scale. In the future, we may add options to customize grading cutoffs.

Why would I need the grade breakdown?

The grade breakdown helps visualize how each number of correct answers corresponds to a percentage and letter grade. This can be useful for teachers, students, and parents.
