How the Test Grade Calculator Works

Your test grade is the points you earned divided by the points possible, times 100. Enter both and this calculator gives the percentage, the letter grade on the standard scale, and the rough grade-point value on a 4.0 scale. It works for a single test, a quiz or any assignment scored out of a total.

To find what you need on a remaining assessment to reach a target, use a final grade calculator instead — this one scores what you already have.

grade = points earned ÷ points possible × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my test grade?

Divide the points you earned by the total possible and multiply by 100. 42 out of 50 is 84%, a B.

How do letter grades map to percentages?

Typically 90+ A, 80–89 B, 70–79 C, 60–69 D, under 60 F, though some schools vary the cutoffs.

What GPA is my grade worth?

On a 4.0 scale, an A is 4, B is 3, C is 2, D is 1, F is 0. The calculator shows the rough value.
