Grade Calculator

Test Grade Calculator

Enter correct answers, total questions, points per question, and optional extra-credit points to calculate a point-based test result.

Calculate a test percentage from correct answers

Test grade calculation formula

Regular earned points = correct answers x points per question. Regular possible points = total questions x points per question. Test percentage = (regular earned points + extra credit) / regular possible points x 100.

Test percentage

Calculates earned points as a share of regular possible points.

Point total

Shows earned points and regular possible points separately.

Missed questions

Shows total questions less correct answers for a basic review.

How to calculate a test grade

For a test with equally valued questions, multiply the number of correct answers by the point value of each question. Divide that point total by the regular points possible, then multiply by 100. For example, 42 correct answers out of 50 questions worth two points each produces 84 regular points out of 100, or 84% before any extra credit.

Extra credit can make the earned-point total higher than the regular possible-point total, which can produce a score above 100%. This page treats extra credit as additional earned points and keeps regular possible points unchanged. An instructor may instead cap scores, add credit after weighting, or apply a different policy.

Use this calculator only when each regular question has the same point value. Tests with mixed question values, partial credit, negative marking, curved scores, or question drops should be calculated from the official point breakdown. The final course grade can also differ after category weights and instructor rounding.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a test grade from correct answers?

Divide correct answers by total questions and multiply by 100 when each question is worth one point.

What if questions have different point values?

Add earned points and possible points from the official point breakdown instead of using a single points-per-question value.

Can a test score be over 100%?

Yes, when extra-credit points are included and the instructor permits a score above regular points possible.

Does this calculate my course grade?

No. A course grade can include weighted categories, dropped work, finals, rounding, and other policies.
