About this calculator

A test score calculator converts the number of questions you got right out of the total into a percentage and a letter grade. Set the points lost per wrong answer under advanced options if wrong answers carry a penalty; otherwise every unanswered or wrong question simply scores zero.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a test percentage?

Divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions and multiply by 100. Eighteen correct out of twenty is 18 ÷ 20 × 100 = 90%.

How does the wrong-answer penalty work?

Some exams subtract a fraction of a point for each wrong answer to discourage guessing. If you set a penalty, it is multiplied by the number of wrong answers and removed from your raw score before the percentage is worked out.
