Hello people! I received a 10/15 on a test recently and I'm trying to figure out what this means in terms of a percentage grade. I'm used to grades out of 100, so I'm a bit lost. Any ideas?
Hey there! You'd basically convert your raw score into a percentage by taking your score (10) and dividing it by the total possible score (15). So, 10 divided by 15 equals approximately 0.667. This is your score as a decimal, and to convert this to a percentage, you multiply by 100. So, 0.667 x 100 = 66.7%. So a score of 10 out of 15 equates to a grade of approximately 67%.
Remember that the meaning of this percentage can vary based on your professor's or teacher's grading scale. 67% might be considered a D+ or C- depending on the scale. You should check the syllabus or grading scale given by your institution to know what letter grade a 67% corresponds to.
