Score to grade

Your percentage is points earned divided by points available, times 100. The letter grade then comes from a standard scale: 90 and up is an A, the 80s a B, the 70s a C, the 60s a D, and below 60 an F, with plus and minus bands at the edges.

43 out of 50
43 ÷ 50 = 86%, a B

Scales can differ

The letter bands here follow the common US scale, but schools vary; some drop the plus and minus, some set the pass mark higher or lower. Use it as a quick guide and check your syllabus for the exact cut-offs. To combine several graded pieces, use the weighted grade tool.

A standard US scale: 90+ is A, 80s B, 70s C, 60s D, under 60 F, with plus and minus near the boundaries.

Yes. Scoring above the total works: if you earn 52 on a 50-point test, it simply reads over 100 percent.
