Grade Calculator

Understanding Grade Calculator

A grade calculator maps a numeric score to a label using a selected set of boundaries. It cannot know which grading policy applies to your course, so this tool asks you to choose a configured scale explicitly. Each scale specifies its maximum value and a list of inclusive lower boundaries. The result is the label with the highest boundary that your score meets. This permits percentage scales as well as four-point, five-point, ten-point and custom numeric systems. The starter scales are clearly marked as illustrative examples and should be replaced or verified by the administrator before institutional use. Enter the score in the units of the chosen scale rather than mixing a percentage with a grade point. A score exactly on a boundary qualifies for that band. The tool does not add grace marks, curve a class distribution or change thresholds based on the performance of other students.

Configured boundaries must match your official policy. A letter or label has no universal meaning across institutions.

Formula

Grade = label of the highest inclusive minimum boundary not exceeding the score

Worked example

With Pass at 60 and Merit at 80, a score of 80 matches Merit exactly.
