When it comes in handy

Grading a stack of papers

Print the chart once for a test and grade every paper against it without a calculator.

A quick single score

Enter one student’s wrong count to get their percentage and letter grade straight away.

Quizzes with odd totals

Works for any total, including awkward ones like 7, 13 or 22 questions where the mental maths is fiddly.

Instant, exact & 100% in your browser

The conversion runs right here in your browser using exact, standard factors. Nothing you type is sent to a server, there is no sign-up and no limit, and once the page has loaded it keeps working even with no connection.

Frequently asked questions

How does the EZ grader work out the score?
It takes the number correct (questions minus wrong) and divides by the total number of questions, then multiplies by 100. So 1 wrong out of 10 is 9 ÷ 10 × 100 = 90%. Every row of the grading chart is that same calculation for a different number wrong.
How is the letter grade decided?
By the standard A to F scale: 90 and above is an A, 80-89 a B, 70-79 a C, 60-69 a D, and below 60 an F. The percentage is matched to the band it falls in, so a 72% shows as a C.
Can I enter the number correct instead of wrong?
Yes. Switch the input to "number correct" and type how many the student got right; the wrong count and score follow automatically. Some teachers count up from a blank paper and some count down from a perfect one, so either way works.
How is this different from a grade calculator?
This one turns a raw question count into a percentage, the way a plastic grading slide-card does. A weighted grade calculator combines category scores like homework and exams by their weight, and a final grade calculator works out the score you need on a final. Use this when you just have questions right and wrong.
Can I print the grading chart?
Yes. The chart is a plain table of every number wrong and its score and grade, and there is a print button that opens your browser’s print dialog with just the chart. Print it once per test length and reuse it for the whole class.
