Hello fellow stressers, I'm kinda freaking out. I just received an 11/15 on a test, but I don't exactly know what it would be as a letter grade. Does anyone know or have any sources that could translate this for me?
Hello! Let's break this down simply. The way to convert a score into a percentage is to take the score received and divide by the total possible score, then multiply by 100.
So in your case, you got an 11 out of 15. If we divide 11 by 15, we get approximately 0.73. If we multiply that by 100, we get 73%.
Different schools can use slightly different grading scales, but generally, a 73% would be considered around a C average. But remember, it's important to understand your school's or teacher's specific grading scale to get the most accurate conversion.
