How it works
Divide the points you earned by the points possible, then multiply by 100 to get a percent.
The letter uses a common scale: 90 and up is an A, 80 up to 90 is a B, 70 up to 80 is a C, 60 up to 70 is a D, and below 60 is an F. Your school may use different cutoffs.
Worked example
452 points out of 500 works out to 90.4 percent, a grade of A.
Questions
What if my points add to more than the total?
The percent can go above 100. That is correct when you earned extra credit.
Do my teacher's cutoffs match this scale?
Not always. Ask for your course's grading scale, or use the grading scale calculator to set your own cutoffs.
Are points and percents the same thing?
They are two ways of showing the same share. A percent is that share written out of 100, so any total can be converted.
