Missing 15 out of 100 gives 85 correct and 85% — a solid B in the middle of the B band (80–89%). On a 100-point test the arithmetic is one-to-one: every question you got wrong is one point off your grade. To climb into A range you need to recover 5 of those 15 mistakes (get to 90 correct). Check the EZ-grader table below to map each wrong count to its grade.

How it's calculated
The percentage score is computed as percent = (correct / total) × 100 + curvePts, clamped to the interval [0, 100]. The letter grade is then assigned using the standard five-band scale: a percentage of 90 or above earns an A, 80–89 a B, 70–79 a C, 60–69 a D, and anything below 60 an F. These cutoffs are consistent across the two authoritative references used for this calculator: the Calculator.net EZ-grader tool and the ThoughtCo grade-percentage guide. The full reference table is generated by iterating wrong from 0 to total, computing correct = total − wrong for each step, and applying the same formula to produce a row of (wrong, percent, letter) for every possible outcome.
