How to calculate a grade out of 17
Percent = score ÷ 17 × 100
For example, 14 out of 17 is 14 ÷ 17 = 0.8235, × 100 = 82.35%, a B-. Every question you miss costs 5.88 percentage points, so the gap between letters is often a single question.
Letters follow the standard U.S. plus/minus grading scale. If your teacher uses different cutoffs (like 93/85/77/70), build a custom chart with the EZ Grader. For a single score, the test grade calculator is quickest.
