How to calculate a grade out of 26
Percent = score ÷ 26 × 100
For example, 21 out of 26 is 21 ÷ 26 = 0.8077, × 100 = 80.77%, a B-. Every question you miss costs 3.85 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.
