What Is GPA Calculator?
The GPA Calculator converts your test or exam result into a percentage, letter grade, and GPA point based on your exam performance. Enter the total number of questions asked in your test, next enter how many you attempted, and how many of your attempted answers were wrong. The calculator determines your correct and unattempted questions, calculates your percentage, and then shows the corresponding letter grade and GPA point.
For example, if an exam has 80 total questions, you attempted 60, and 25 of your attempted answers were wrong, you have 35 correct answers and 20 unattempted questions. The calculator calculates your score as 43.75% and, according to the grading scale used by the calculator, shows a C grade and 2.0GPA point.
This tool is different from calculating a combined GPA across multiple courses. If you want to calculate an overall GPA or CGPA using multiple subjects and credit hours, our Multi-Subject CGPA Calculator is designed for that purpose. This calculator focuses specifically on showing what grade and GPA point a particular test or exam result represents.
How to Use the GPA Calculator?
Converting a test score into a GPA point takes three numbers and a few seconds.
Enter total questions
The full number of questions on the test, regardless of how many you actually answered.
Enter attempted questions
How many questions you actually answered, whether they were right or wrong.
Enter wrong questions
How many of your attempted questions were incorrect. The calculator works out your correct answers, your percentage, your letter grade, and your GPA point automatically.
How GPA Calculator Works?
The calculator first works out your percentage from your test score, then matches that percentage to a letter grade and GPA point on the grading scale used by this calculator
Example: Say a test had 55 total questions. You attempted 50 of them, and 8 were wrong.
A 76.36% falls in the B+range on the standard scale, which converts to a 3.2 GPApoint.
Percentage to GPA Point Reference
How percentage ranges convert to letter grades and GPA points on this calculator.
| Percentage | Letter Grade | GPA Point |
|---|---|---|
| 90% and above | A+ | 4.0 |
| 80% to 89% | A | 3.6 |
| 70% to 79% | B+ | 3.2 |
| 60% to 69% | B | 2.8 |
| 50% to 59% | C+ | 2.4 |
| 40% to 49% | C | 2.0 |
| 35% to 39% | D | 1.6 |
| Below 35% | F | 0.0 |
35% is the pass threshold on this calculator. Grading scales vary by institution, check your school's official policy if it differs from the one shown here.
Is This an Overall GPA Calculator?
This calculator converts a single test or exam result into a percentage, letter grade and GPA point based on the input like total questions asked in your exam, how many questions you have attempted, and how many of them were wrong.
It does not calculate your cumulative or semester GPA from multiple courses, subjects, or credit hours. If you want to combine several subjects or courses into an overall GPA, use our Multi-Subject CGPA Calculator.
The GPA point shown by this calculator is based on the grading scale displayed on this page. Your institution may use a different grading scale, so check your school's official grading policy when an exact institutional GPA is required.
GPA Calculator Examples
Most Questions Attempted
Suppose an exam has 50 questions and you attempt all 50. If 5 answers are wrong, you have 45 correct answers.
The calculator then matches 90% to the corresponding letter grade and GPA point on its grading scale.
Some Questions Left Unanswered
Suppose an exam has 60 questions, but you attempt only 50. If 5 of those attempted questions are wrong, you have 45 correct answers.
The 10 unanswered questions are still part of the total number of questions, so they affect the percentage.
Understanding a Borderline Score
Suppose you have 42 correct answers out of 55 questions.
The calculator then uses its displayed grading scale to determine the corresponding letter grade and GPA point.
These examples show how total questions, attempted questions, and wrong answers work together to determine the final result.
