Grading Scale for 100 Questions

Percent and letter grade for every score on a 100-question test.

On a 100-question test, each question is worth 1 point. This chart uses a standard plus/minus scale (A- at 90%, B- at 80%, C- at 70% and D- at 60%), so "an A" here means A- or better. Students need 90 right for an A, 80 for a B, 70 for a C and 60 for a D. They can miss 10 questions and still get an A, or 20 and still get a B.

  • A90+ rightA- or better
  • B80+ rightB- or better
  • C70+ rightC- or better
  • D60+ rightD- or better
