How do I calculate a test score?

Divide the number of correct answers by total questions, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. For example: 35/40 × 100 = 87.5% (B+).

What if questions have different point values?

Use the Grade Calculator instead — enter total points earned and total points possible.

Can I find how many I need to pass?

Yes — if you need to pass with 60%, you need at least 60% × total questions = minimum correct answers.

The Assignment Grade Calculator converts your raw score (points earned out of total possible) into a percentage, letter grade, and GPA equivalent. Optionally enter the assignment weight to see its weighted contribution to your overall grade.

Formula

Grade (%) = (Points Earned ÷ Total Points) × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good grade on an assignment?

A (90–100%) is excellent, B (80–89%) is good, C (70–79%) is average. Below 60% is typically failing in US institutions.

Why does assignment weight matter?

Weight determines how much this assignment affects your overall grade. A 30% weight assignment matters three times more than a 10% weight one.

What if my score exceeds total points (extra credit)?

GradePilot handles this correctly — it calculates the real percentage even above 100% and shows the adjusted letter grade.
