Frequently Asked Questions

What is a passing grade?

In most US schools, a "C" (70%) or "D" (60%) is considered passing, but prerequisites often require a 70% or higher.

How do I calculate wrong answers?

If you know how many you got wrong, subtract that from the total questions to get your score. Then use the calculator.

Can I get over 100%?

Yes, if there were bonus questions. For example, 55/50 would be 110%.

Is 89.5% an A?

It depends on the teacher's rounding policy. Mathematically, it rounds to 90%, but some systems use strict cutoffs.
