How to calculate a test grade
Use this test grade calculator to turn correct answers, questions missed, or points earned into a percentage.
Subtract questions missed from the total, divide the number correct by the total, then multiply by 100. For example, 7 wrong out of 25 leaves 18 correct, giving 72%. A score of 35 out of 50 is 70%.
What grade is 21 out of 25?
21 out of 25 is 84% because 21 ÷ 25 × 100 = 84. That is four questions missed when all questions count equally. Use the grading scale for your class to convert 84% to a letter.
When questions are worth different points
Switch to Points earned. Enter the awarded points and the maximum possible. For example, 17.5 out of 20 is 87.5%. The tool can show extra credit above 100%.
What letter grade is 60%?
With the example cutoffs it is a D. Use your school’s thresholds to determine the letter grade for your class.
