How to calculate a grade out of 36
Percent = score ÷ 36 × 100
For example, 29 out of 36 is 29 ÷ 36 = 0.8056, × 100 = 80.56%, a B-. Every question you miss costs 2.78 percentage points, so the gap between letters is about 1 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.
