How is this calculated?

Each question is worth 100 ÷ 3, which is about 33.3%. To score a test, divide the number correct by 3 and multiply by 100.

A student who misses 1 gets 2 correct, so the score is 2 ÷ 3 × 100 = 66.7%, which is a D.

Letter grades use this scale: A 90–100, B 80–89.9, C 70–79.9, D 60–69.9, F below 60.

Gave partial credit? See the half-point chart

Half-point grading lets you take off half a point for an answer that's partly right. A cardboard EZ Grader can't do it, because it only counts whole numbers wrong. Easy Grade Premium can, at any test size.
