January 25, 2002, Newsletter Issue #60: Figuring Percentage and Letter Grades
Tip of the Week
Simple steps to figure out the percentage and letter grade of an assignment or test.
1. Correct the paper.
2. Determine the number of total questions. Some questions can get more than one point - if there are multiple answers or if it is a particularly long answer.
3. Count number of correct questions.
4. Take the number of correct questions and divide by the total number of questions.
5. Multiply this number by 100 to turn it into a percentage.
6. Typical grade scale:
93-100% = A
85-92% = B
77-84% = C
70-76% = D
69% and below = F
