10-Question Test Score Chart

A complete reference showing all possible scores on a 10-question test. Each wrong answer costs exactly 10% (since 100 ÷ 10 = 10). Find your current performance highlighted below, and use this chart to see how many you can miss and still reach your target grade.

Wrong Correct Percentage Grade

How This Is Calculated

Score = (Questions Correct / Total Questions) × 100%

Example: On a 10-question test, you answer 8 correctly (2 wrong):
Score = (8 / 10) × 100 = 0.80 × 100 = 80% (B grade)

The letter grade cutoffs follow the standard US grading scale: A (90–100%), B (80–89%), C (70–79%), D (60–69%), F (below 60%). Your school or instructor may use different thresholds, so check your course syllabus for the exact scale.
