Know exactly how you performed on any test. Your score maps to standard letter grades: F (under 60%) means you didn't pass — review the material and retake if possible. D (60-69%) is barely passing — you'll need to retake the course at many schools. C (70-76%) is average — acceptable for general requirements but won't count toward honors. B (77-86%) is good — solid performance that keeps you on track for scholarships. A (87-100%) is excellent — top performance that maximizes GPA contribution. The percentage is calculated as (Points Earned / Total Points) × 100.

The Formula
Percentage = (Earned / Total) × 100. Standard grading scale: A 93-100%, B 83-92%, etc.
Why It Matters
You scored 42/50 on a chemistry midterm. That is an 84% — a B grade. You need 47/50 on your next test (94%) to raise your class average to an A. Alternatively, you only need 22/25 on the final to secure a B+ in the course, helping you maintain scholarship eligibility.
