How Does an Easy Grader Work?

An Easy Grader is a shortcut for repetitive classroom grading: set the number of questions once, then map the number wrong to a percentage and letter grade.

The workflow

Set the total number of questions, count the wrong answers on a paper, and read the corresponding score. The correct count is total questions minus wrong answers.

Percentage = (Total Questions − Wrong Answers) ÷ Total Questions × 100

Why a chart helps

When every paper has the same number of questions, the teacher can reuse one score chart for the whole stack. That removes repeated percentage calculations.

Where the Easy Grader fits

Use Easy Grader for repetitive grading. Use the Test Grade Calculator when you only need to calculate one assessment score.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an Easy Grader and an EZ Grader?

They're the same idea under two common names — a chart or tool that converts a wrong-answer count into a percentage and letter grade for a set number of questions.

Can I use it for any number of questions?

Yes, most Easy Graders (including this one) support up to a few hundred questions per assessment — enough for any typical quiz, test, or worksheet.

Does it work for partial credit?

The basic wrong-answer chart assumes each question is worth one point, right or wrong. For assessments with partial credit or unequal point values, use the Test Grade Calculator with points earned and points possible instead.
