Letter scale: Common US plus/minus scale

The plus/minus cutoffs Wikipedia lists for US colleges: A+ from 97%, A 93, A- 90, B+ 87, B 83, B- 80 and so on down to D- at 60. It is not universal, so use your syllabus's cutoffs when they differ. Source: Wikipedia, “Academic grading in the United States”.

Rounding and decimal places

Follow your syllabus. A displayed percentage can round up while the unrounded score stays below a cutoff.

Only changes how results are shown. Extra places appear when rounding would push a score over a letter cutoff.

A letter typed as a score counts as the lowest percentage for that letter on this scale. Use the original percentage when you have it.

Check a single cutoff with the grading scale calculator.

From points to percent

Percentage = points earned ÷ points possible × 100

For 16 points out of 20, divide 16 by 20 to get 0.8. Multiplying by 100 gives 80%. The fraction reduces to 4/5, and 4 points were missed.

Zero earned points is 0%. Possible points must be greater than zero. A score above full credit is allowed when extra credit applies. The percentage shows up to two decimal places. To show 0, 1 or 2, open “Letter scale”, then “Rounding and decimal places”. That setting changes only the display: the letter comes from the unrounded percentage, unless you also choose to round to the nearest whole percent. With 0 decimal places, 89.6% shows as 90%, yet it is still a B where an A starts at 90%, and the letter line keeps 89.6%.

A test score or a class grade?

This calculator finds the percentage for one points total. For a stack of equally weighted tests, the easy grader has keyboard shortcuts and a printable chart.

When assignments count differently, the class grade calculator combines their points or weights. A grading scale supplies letter cutoffs; a percentage alone does not tell you your GPA.

For a whole marksheet with several subjects, the marks percentage calculator adds them up and can count only your best five.
