What this tool does
Put scores with different totals on the same 100-point scale without assigning a school-specific letter grade.
How to use it
- Enter the points you earned.
- Enter the maximum points available.
- Review the percentage and missed points.
Formula and method
Percentage = earned points ÷ total points × 100. Missed points = total points − earned points.
Example

Useful for
- Comparing tests with different totals
- Converting quiz scores to percentages
- Checking progress toward a point target
Limits and notes
This tool does not assign letter grades, class rank, standardized scores or GPA because those rules vary by institution.
