How this is calculated
Divide the points earned by the points possible and multiply by 100: 11 ÷ 15 × 100 = 73.33%. On the common 10-point-band scale that lands in the C range — you'd have needed 14/15 to reach the A band.
Common questions
How many points is each letter grade worth on a test?
On the standard scale, each letter band spans 10 percentage points, so on a 50-point test a letter grade is about 5 points, and on a 20-point quiz it's about 2. That's why one careless mistake matters more on short assessments — a single 2-point question on a 20-point quiz is an entire letter grade.
Can I still pass if I fail the final?
Often, yes — it depends on your current grade and the final's weight. With an 80 going in and a final worth 20%, even a 40 on the final leaves you at 72. Run your exact numbers in the calculator; 'failing the final means failing the class' is only true when the final is very heavily weighted or your cushion is thin.
