1. What is Test Grade Percentage?

Test grade percentage is a measure of how many questions were answered correctly compared to the total number of questions on a test. It provides a standardized way to evaluate performance across tests of different lengths.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Correct}}{\text{Total}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\( Correct \) — Number of correctly answered questions
\( Total \) — Total number of questions on the test

Explanation: The formula calculates the fraction of correct answers and converts it to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Calculating test percentages allows for fair comparison of performance across different tests and helps identify areas needing improvement.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of correct answers and the total number of questions. Both values must be positive numbers, with correct ≤ total.
