Hi everyone, I just got a 13/15 on one of my assignments. I've always been a bit hazy on how grading works when it's not expressed as a percentage out of 100. Can anybody help me figure out what grade this might be?
Sure, happy to help with that. To convert your raw score into a percentage, you would divide your score by the total possible score, and then multiply that fraction by 100.
So, in your case, that would be (13 ÷ 15) x 100, which gives you approximately 86.67%.
Grading scales vary between institutions, but this would typically translate to a B or B+ depending on the specific scale used by your school or instructor. As grading scales do differ, it would be best to consult your school's grading scale or your course syllabus for the most accurate conversion.
