Exam Score Calculator

How is the percentage calculated?

Marks scored divided by total marks, times 100, shown to two decimals. Scores are not capped, so entering more marks than the total gives a percentage above 100. A total of 0, which is also what an emptied box becomes, is treated as 1, which inflates the result, so always enter the real maximum.

Which letter scale does the tool use?

A+ at 95 and above, A 90, A− 85, B+ 80, B 75, B− 70, C+ 65, C 60, C− 55, D 50, and F below 50. These are the tool’s own cut-offs, applied to the percentage. Your school or exam board may draw the lines elsewhere.

Why can I get a Pass and an F at the same time?

Pass or Fail compares your raw marks with the passing marks you entered, while the letter comes only from the percentage. With 38 out of 80 and 32 passing marks, the tool shows 47.50%, an F and a Pass. The two use different thresholds, so enter your real passing mark.

Is the passing mark a percentage or marks?

Marks, in the same units as the marks scored. If the pass mark is 40% of a 60-mark paper, enter 24. A score exactly equal to the passing marks counts as a Pass, and the margin row then reads 0.

What is the weighted contribution?

Your percentage multiplied by the exam weight divided by 100. A 76.67% on an exam worth 40% contributes 30.67 points to the final grade. Add the contributions from every assessment to reach a final total; the tool does not rescale them if your weights do not add to 100.

What does a weight of 0 do?

It is respected: the contribution shows 0.00%. Clearing the box gives the same result, because an emptied number box becomes 0. The starting value of 100 is the right setting for a single exam that is the whole grade.

Which GPA values does it show?

The GPA comes from the letter: A+ and A both 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B− 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C− 1.7, D 1.0, F 0.0. It is a per-exam figure, not a cumulative GPA.
