Grade Chart for a 5-Question Test

On a 5-question test, each question is worth 20%. An A takes a perfect score. A student can miss up to 1 question and still get a B, and 2 for a D. No score on this test earns a C. To pass at 60%, a student needs at least 3 correct.

How is this calculated?

Each question is worth 100 ÷ 5, which is 20%. To score a test, divide the number correct by 5 and multiply by 100.

A student who misses 1 gets 4 correct, so the score is 4 ÷ 5 × 100 = 80.0%, which is a B.

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.
