What a 7/12 grade means

  • 7 correct and 5 wrong on a 12-question test.
  • Each question is worth 8.33%, so every wrong answer costs 8.33 percentage points.
  • Any score from 0 to 7 out of 12 is an F.
  • 1 more correct (8 out of 12, 66.67%) would make it a D.
  • It is below a 60% passing score, which needs 8 out of 12: 1 more correct.

How to work it out

  1. Divide the score by the total: 7 ÷ 12 = 0.5833.
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.5833 × 100 = 58.33%.
  3. Find 58.33% on the grading scale: A is 90% and up, B 80%, C 70% and D 60%, so it is an F.

Rounded to a whole number this is 58%, and the letter grade stays the same.
