Test Grade Calculator

Enter the total number of questions on a test and either how many you got right or how many you missed — get your score, percentage, and letter grade instantly. Uses the same letter-grade scale as our Grade Calculator.

Leave blank to treat each question as 1 point.

How it's calculated

Enter correct answers directly, or enter how many you missed instead — whichever you happen to know. Both produce the same result when each question is scored as either correct or incorrect.

Formulas
Correct + Missed = Total Questions Percentage Score = (Correct ÷ Total) × 100 Percentage Score = 100 × (Total − Missed) ÷ Total
Example
50 total questions, 43 correct (or equivalently, 7 missed) Score: 43 / 50    Percentage: 86%    Letter Grade: B

Points per question

Leave this blank and every question is worth 1 point, so the Score reads as a simple "questions right out of questions total." If your test weights every question equally but at some other point value — say, 2 points each — enter that value and the Score updates to match (86 / 100 instead of 43 / 50 in the example above). The percentage and letter grade never change based on this field, since scaling every question by the same amount doesn't change the ratio of right to wrong — it only changes how the raw score is displayed.

Grading scales vary by school and instructor, so treat this as a common reference point — check your own syllabus or instructor's scale if yours differs.

Frequently asked questions

When would I use Points per Question?

Only when you want the Score displayed in actual points rather than a plain question count — for example, if your teacher's answer key shows the test out of 100 points because every question is worth 2. Your percentage and letter grade come out identical either way, so it's purely about matching how your score gets reported.

How is this different from the Grade Calculator?

This one is built specifically for a single test scored by counting right and wrong answers. The Grade Calculator handles a full course grade made up of multiple weighted assignments (percentage, letter, or points format), plus a "what grade do I need" solver — a different, broader job than scoring one test.
