What a 14/16 grade means

  • 14 correct and 2 wrong on a 16-question test.
  • Each question is worth 6.25%, so every wrong answer costs 6.25 percentage points.
  • Any score from 13 to 14 out of 16 is a B.
  • 1 more correct (15 out of 16, 93.75%) would make it an A.
  • It passes a 60% passing score, which needs 10 out of 16.

How to work it out

  1. Divide the score by the total: 14 ÷ 16 = 0.875.
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.875 × 100 = 87.5%.
  3. Find 87.5% on the grading scale: A is 90% and up, B 80%, C 70% and D 60%, so it is a B.

Rounded to a whole number this is 88%, and the letter grade stays the same.
