What a 13/18 grade means

  • 13 correct and 5 wrong on a 18-question test.
  • Each question is worth 5.56%, so every wrong answer costs 5.56 percentage points.
  • Any score from 13 to 14 out of 18 is a C.
  • 2 more correct (15 out of 18, 83.33%) would make it a B.
  • It passes a 60% passing score, which needs 11 out of 18.

How to work it out

  1. Divide the score by the total: 13 ÷ 18 = 0.7222.
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.7222 × 100 = 72.22%.
  3. Find 72.22% on the grading scale: A is 90% and up, B 80%, C 70% and D 60%, so it is a C.

Rounded to a whole number this is 72%, and the letter grade stays the same.
