Five wrong answers on a 20-question test gives 75%, which is a C — passing, but squarely in average territory. You need to correct 2 of those 5 mistakes (get them right instead) to jump to 85% (B), or all 5 to reach 100% (A). Adding a 5-point curve would move you to 80% — still a B.

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.
