Grading notes for a 50-question test

Fifty questions is the standard length for many final exams, benchmark tests and practice versions of standardized tests.

One wrong answer gives 98% (A+) and two wrong answers give 96% (A). To pass with 60%, a student needs 30 correct and can miss up to 20.

With 50 questions every letter grade on the standard scale, from A+ down to F, can be earned with a whole-number score, so the chart below shows the full range.

Each question is worth exactly 2%, so the percentage is the number correct times two. A student can miss three questions and keep an A (94%). Because finals often count heavily, see our final grade calculator to show students what a given exam score does to their course grade.
