A grade chart, also called a grading chart or easy-grader table, matches raw scores with percentages and letter grades. Each row shows how the result changes when one more answer is correct or wrong.
10-question grade chart
This example uses whole-point scoring and a simple A–F scale. Use the generator above to create the same chart for any test from 1 to 500 questions with standard, strict, or lenient letter-grade thresholds.
| Wrong | Correct | Percentage | Letter grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 10 | 100% | A |
| 1 | 9 | 90% | A |
| 2 | 8 | 80% | B |
| 3 | 7 | 70% | C |
| 4 | 6 | 60% | D |
| 5 | 5 | 50% | F |
| 6 | 4 | 40% | F |
| 7 | 3 | 30% | F |
| 8 | 2 | 20% | F |
| 9 | 1 | 10% | F |
| 10 | 0 | 0% | F |
How to read a grade chart
Find the number of points or questions missed in the first column. Move across the row to see the number correct, percentage score, and corresponding letter grade. A zero in the wrong column represents a perfect score.
Create a chart for any assignment
Test length, fractional scoring, bonus points, and grade thresholds can all change the chart. Generate a custom chart instead of relying on a fixed printable table.
How many questions can a student miss?
Find the required percentage in the chart and read the wrong-answer value in the same row. On a 20-question test, each question is worth 5 percentage points, so 6 wrong answers produce 70%. Shorter quizzes have larger gaps between possible scores because each question represents more of the total.
Grade charts for partial credit
A whole-question chart assumes every item has equal value. For half points, quarter points, essay rubrics, or different question weights, use the full grade calculator and select the required point precision. The chart will include fractional raw scores.
