Test Score Percentage Formula:
| From: | To: |
Test Score Percentage is a measure of performance on a test or exam, calculated as the ratio of correct answers to total questions, expressed as a percentage. It provides a standardized way to evaluate performance across different tests.
The calculator uses the test score percentage formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the percentage of correct answers by dividing the number of correct responses by the total questions and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage.
Details: Test score percentage is widely used in educational settings to evaluate student performance, determine grades, and assess learning outcomes. It provides a clear and comparable measure of achievement.
Tips: Enter the number of correct answers and the total number of questions. Both values must be valid (correct ≥ 0, total > 0, and correct ≤ total).
Q1: What is a good test score percentage?
A: This varies by context, but generally, 90-100% is excellent, 80-89% is good, 70-79% is average, and below 70% may indicate need for improvement.
Q2: How is percentage different from raw score?
A: Raw score is the actual number of correct answers, while percentage standardizes the score based on the total possible, making it easier to compare across different tests.
Q3: Can I use this for weighted tests?
A: This calculator assumes all questions have equal weight. For weighted tests, you would need to calculate weighted scores separately.
Q4: What if I have partial credit questions?
A: This calculator works with whole numbers only. For partial credit, you would need to convert to equivalent whole numbers first.
Q5: How accurate is the percentage calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise. The result is rounded to one decimal place for readability.
