What a 12/24 grade means

  • 12 correct and 12 wrong on a 24-question test.
  • Each question is worth 4.17%, so every wrong answer costs 4.17 percentage points.
  • Any score from 0 to 14 out of 24 is an F.
  • 3 more correct (15 out of 24, 62.5%) would make it a D.
  • It is below a 60% passing score, which needs 15 out of 24: 3 more correct.

How to work it out

  1. Divide the score by the total: 12 ÷ 24 = 0.5.
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.5 × 100 = 50%.
  3. Find 50% on the grading scale: A is 90% and up, B 80%, C 70% and D 60%, so it is an F.
