Test Grade Formula
Test grade percentage is calculated by dividing correct answers by total questions and multiplying by 100:
Example: If you answered 42 questions correctly out of 50 total, your grade is (42 ÷ 50) × 100 = 84%, which typically corresponds to a B letter grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my test grade percentage?
Divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions, then multiply by 100. For example, 42 correct out of 50 questions = (42 ÷ 50) × 100 = 84%.
What letter grade corresponds to my percentage?
Letter grades vary by institution, but common scales are: A+ (97-100%), A (93-96%), A- (90-92%), B+ (87-89%), B (83-86%), B- (80-82%), C+ (77-79%), C (73-76%), C- (70-72%), D+ (67-69%), D (65-66%), F (below 65%).
How many more questions do I need to get an A?
The calculator shows how many additional correct answers you need to reach target letter grades. For an A (typically 93%), subtract your current correct count from the minimum needed for 93% of the total questions.
Can I use this for weighted tests or exams?
This calculator works for simple percentage-based tests. For weighted exams where different questions have different point values, use a grade calculator that supports weighted assignments. This tool is best for tests where all questions are worth equal points.
