Frequently Asked Questions

What is a passing grade?

Typically, 60% (D-) is considered passing, but requirements vary by institution. Most schools consider 70% (C-) as the minimum for "satisfactory" performance.

How do I calculate my grade if questions have different point values?

This calculator assumes all questions are worth equal points. For weighted questions, you would need to use total points earned divided by total possible points.

What if I have bonus questions?

If you scored above 100% due to bonus questions, the calculator will still work correctly and show your score above 100%.

Note: Letter grade scales may vary by institution. Always check your school's grading policy for accurate grade assignments.
