What a 14/21 grade means

  • 14 correct and 7 wrong on a 21-question test.

How to work it out

  1. Divide the score by the total: 14 ÷ 21 = 0.6667.
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.6667 × 100 = 66.67%.
  3. Find 66.67% on the grading scale: A is 90% and up, B 80%, C 70% and D 60%, so it is a D.

Rounded to a whole number this is 67%, and the letter grade stays the same.
