How to Calculate Test Grade

Calculating your test grade is an essential skill for students to assess their performance. This calculation takes into account the number of correct answers and the total number of questions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to calculate your test grade:

Test Grade Formula

The formula to calculate the test grade percentage is:

\[ \text{Percentage Score} = \frac{\text{Number of Correct Answers}}{\text{Total Number of Questions}} \times 100\% \]

Where:

• Number of Correct Answers = The number of questions you answered correctly
• Total Number of Questions = The total number of questions on the test

Calculation Steps

1. Count the total number of questions on the test
2. Count the number of questions you answered correctly
3. Divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions
4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage
5. Determine the letter grade based on the percentage score

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the test grade for a student with the following scores:

• Total Number of Questions: 50
• Number of Correct Answers: 42

1. Apply the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage Score} = \frac{42}{50} \times 100\% = 84\% \]

Therefore, the student's test grade is 84%.

To express this as a fraction: 42/50

The letter grade for 84% would typically be a B.
