1. What is Test Grade Percentage?

Test Grade Percentage is a mathematical calculation that converts a raw test score into a percentage value, representing the proportion of correct answers or achieved points out of the total possible.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Score} \) — Points achieved on the test
• \( \text{Total} \) — Total possible points

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage of the total points were achieved by dividing the score by the total and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage.

3. Importance of Grade Percentage

Details: Grade percentages provide a standardized way to evaluate performance across different tests and assignments, allowing for fair comparison and grading consistency.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the points achieved in the Score field and the total possible points in the Total field. Both values must be positive numbers, and the score cannot exceed the total.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my score is higher than the total?
A: The calculator will only accept valid inputs where the score is less than or equal to the total points available.

Q2: How are decimal scores handled?
A: The calculator supports decimal values for both score and total, providing precise percentage calculations.

Q3: Can I use this for weighted grades?
A: This calculator calculates simple percentages. For weighted grades, you would need to calculate each component separately and then combine them according to their weights.

Q4: What percentage is considered a passing grade?
A: Passing grades vary by institution and course, but typically range from 60% to 70% depending on the grading scale.

Q5: How accurate is the percentage calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, providing results rounded to two decimal places for clarity.
