What score do I need on my final exam to get an A?

Enter your current grade, the weight of your final exam (found on your syllabus), and your target grade of 90% or higher in our Final Grade Calculator. The tool will instantly calculate the exact score you need. If the required score is above 100%, you'll need extra credit to reach that goal. The calculator will tell you this clearly so you can plan accordingly.

How do I calculate my grade with different weighted categories?

For a weighted grade calculator, enter each assignment's score alongside its weight percentage. For example: Homework = 88%, weight 20%; Midterm = 75%, weight 30%; Final = 92%, weight 50%. The calculator multiplies each score by its decimal weight, adds the results, and gives you your overall course grade. Make sure all weights add up to 100%.

What is the grading scale for 20 questions?

On a standard 10-point grading scale, a 20-question test grades like this: 20 correct = 100% (A), 18 correct = 90% (A), 16 correct = 80% (B), 14 correct = 70% (C), 12 correct = 60% (D), 11 or fewer = F. Use our Easy Grader tab to generate the full chart instantly for any number of questions.

How do I convert a percentage to a letter grade?

Most U.S. schools use this standard: 90–100% = A, 80–89% = B, 70–79% = C, 60–69% = D, below 60% = F. Schools with plus/minus grades add breakpoints at 93% (A), 90% (A-), 87% (B+), and so on. Our calculator automatically converts any percentage to the correct letter grade based on the standard scale.

What is an easy grader and how does it work?

An easy grader (also called an EZ grader or test grader) is a tool that converts raw test scores into percentages and letter grades. You enter the total number of questions and the number of wrong answers. The grader instantly calculates the percentage score and assigns a letter grade. Teachers use easy graders to speed up grading stacks of papers without doing the division for every single test.

Can I calculate my GPA with this tool?

Our grade calculator shows your course grade as a percentage and letter grade. To convert that to GPA points: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0. For full GPA calculation across all your courses, visit our dedicated GPA Calculator page for a semester-by-semester breakdown.

How to calculate grades manually without a calculator?

To calculate a weighted grade manually: (1) Convert each weight to a decimal 30% becomes 0.30. (2) Multiply each score by its decimal weight. (3) Add all the results together. Example: 85 × 0.30 = 25.5; 90 × 0.70 = 63. Sum = 88.5% (B+). For unweighted grades, simply add all scores and divide by the number of assignments.
