Test Grade Calculator
Enter your points earned and total points to calculate your test score percentage and letter grade.
What Is a Test Grade Calculator?
A test grade calculator helps you quickly convert raw test scores into a percentage and letter grade. Instead of doing the math yourself, enter the number of points you earned and the total possible points, and the tool instantly calculates your grade.
How to Calculate a Test Grade
The formula to find your test percentage is simple:
Test Grade Percentage = (Points Earned ÷ Total Points) × 100
For example, if you scored 42 points out of a possible 50, your calculation would be:
(42 ÷ 50) × 100 = 84%
How to Use This Test Grade Calculator
- Enter the points you earned on the test.
- Enter the total possible points for the test.
- View your test percentage instantly.
- Check the letter grade based on the standard grading scale.
Test Grade Calculation Example
Suppose you got 42 points out of 50 on a quiz. Using the formula:
42 ÷ 50 × 100 = 84%
According to the standard grading scale, 84% is a B.
How to Calculate a Test Score Percentage
Calculating a test score percentage is the same as finding any percentage: divide the part by the whole, then multiply by 100. In this case, the "part" is the points you earned, and the "whole" is the total points available.
Test Grade vs. Overall Course Grade
A test grade reflects your performance on one assessment. Your overall course grade is often a weighted combination of tests, quizzes, assignments, and exams. Use the Grade Calculator or Weighted Grade Calculator to calculate your overall course grade.
