How to calculate a grade out of 8
Percent = score ÷ 8 × 100
For example, 6 out of 8 is 6 ÷ 8 = 0.75, × 100 = 75%, a C. Every question you miss costs 12.5 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.
