How to calculate a grade out of 38
Percent = score ÷ 38 × 100
For example, 30 out of 38 is 30 ÷ 38 = 0.7895, × 100 = 78.95%, a C+. Every question you miss costs 2.63 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.
