Before you rely on the number
Things worth checking
- This page assumes every question is worth the same number of points. Mixed point values need the percentage grade calculator.
- Teachers grading a full stack of papers usually want the EZ Grader, which prints one chart covering every possible number wrong.
- If the test was curved, run the raw score through the grade curve calculator before reading the letter grade.
