2. Printable Grading Chart A grading chart lists possible numbers of wrong answers together with the resulting percentage and letter grade. It can be useful as a quick paper reference.
Example: 10-question test On a 10-question test, 0 wrong is 100%, 2 wrong is 80%, 3 wrong is 70%, and 5 wrong is 50%, when using the example 90/80/70/60 scale.
Print or export • Print the chart as a paper reference. • Download the chart as a CSV file for use in spreadsheet software. • Create charts for different test lengths, including longer exams.

3. Final Grade Calculator The Final Grade Calculator can be used to estimate the score needed on a final exam to reach a target overall grade.
How it works • Enter the current grade. • Enter the desired overall grade. • Enter the final exam weight. For example, a student with a current grade of 97% who wants to finish with at least 90%, when the final is worth 30%, needs 73.7% on the final. Formula: Needed score = (Target − Current × (1 − Weight)) ÷ Weight
The calculator also includes modes for situations such as a final replacing a test, multi-part finals, points-based classes, and classes that drop the lowest test.
