30-Question Test Score Chart

A complete reference showing all possible scores. Each wrong answer costs exactly 3.33 percentage points (since 100 ÷ 30 = 3.333…). Your current performance is highlighted.

How This Is Calculated

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

Example: On a 30-question test, you answer 24 correctly (6 wrong):
Score = (24 / 30) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80.0% (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%). However, grading scales vary by school and instructor, so verify with your syllabus.
