Deciphering the Grading Scale

Hi everyone, bit stressed out here. For a quiz that has 15 questions, what would be the grading scale? Like, how many correct answers would I need for an A, B, etc.? Could someone explain how this works, please?

Hello! Typically, in many U.S. schools, an "A" grade is usually constituted by a percentage of 90-100%, a "B" is 80-89%, a "C" is 70-79%, a "D" is 60-69%, and anything below 60% is considered an "F". However, the grading scale can slightly vary from one educational institution to another.

Applying this to a quiz of 15 questions, you can calculate the number of correct answers you'd need for each grade:

- For an A (90–100%): You'd need to get about 14 to 15 correct answers.

- For a B (80-89%): You'd need to get approximately 12 to 13 correct answers.

- For a C (70-79%): You'd need to get around 11 to 11.5 correct answers.

- For a D (60-69%): You'd need approximately 9 to 10 correct answers.

- Below 9 would usually be considered an F.

This is a general guideline, and different teachers or institutions may use slightly different variation of the grading scale. You can check the syllabus or ask your instructor to be completely certain.
