Question 1

How do I calculate a test grade?

Accepted Answer

Score = (correct answers / total questions) x 100. Six wrong out of 40 is (34/40) x 100 = 85%, a solid B. The chart below the calculator shows every nearby score for fast marking.

Question 2

Can teachers use this for quick grading?

Accepted Answer

That's what the marking table is for: set the total once and read the percentage and letter for any number wrong, no per-paper arithmetic.

Question 3

What letter grade is my percentage?

Accepted Answer

The standard scale: A 93+, A- 90, B+ 87, B 83, B- 80, C+ 77, C 73, C- 70, D 63, F below 60. Your school may vary slightly; see our grading scale chart.
