How to calculate a grade out of 3
Percent = score ÷ 3 × 100
For example, 2 out of 3 is 2 ÷ 3 = 0.6667, × 100 = 66.67%, a D. Every question you miss costs 33.33 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.
