How it works

When to use it

  • Turn a raw score (e.g. 42 out of 50) into a percentage and letter grade.
  • Convert a percentage to grade points.

Formula

Percentage = score ÷ total × 100%
Common US scale: 97+ A+, 93 A, 90 A−, 87 B+, 83 B, 80 B−, 77 C+, 73 C, 70 C−, 67 D+, 63 D, 60 D−, below 60 F

Worked example

Given: 135 out of 150

  1. 135 ÷ 150 = 90%.
  2. 90% → A− → 3.7 grade points.

Result: 90%, A−, 3.7.

Reading the result

  • Cut-offs vary by instructor and school; check your syllabus.

Limitations

  • Uses the common 10-point scale with plus/minus; some schools use 7-point scales or no minus grades.
