Easy grader

A score for this paper. A chart for the whole stack.

W adds one wrong. R resets for the next paper. Shortcuts work when you are not typing in a field. Count a half-wrong answer as 0.5.

Common NCES scale. Your class may use different cutoffs.

Rounding before the letter grade

A displayed percentage can round up while the unrounded score remains below a cutoff.

Your grade chart

The chart uses the question count and cutoffs above.

From wrong answers to a percentage

Subtract wrong answers from the total, then divide the correct answers by the total. Each question must be worth the same number of points.

Score % = (questions − wrong) ÷ questions × 100

Three wrong out of 25 leaves 22 correct. That is 88%. If a half-correct response earns half credit, count it as half wrong.

For questions with different point values, enter total points instead, or use the points grade calculator for several assignments.

Set the cutoffs before marking papers

The percentage is arithmetic. The letter depends on your class scale. Choose a named scale or enter your own cutoffs; use the rounding option only if it matches your policy.

The downloaded chart contains wrong answers, correct answers, percentages and letters. It contains no student names. Printing uses a plain table and keeps the selected scale with the chart.

If you need to change a whole class's scores, compare the arithmetic in the grade curve calculator. Changing cutoffs in the grading scale tool is a different policy choice.
