About Quiz Score Calculator

Marks are correct answers times the marks per question, and the percentage is those marks over the maximum available. Quizzes with multi-mark questions make raw counts misleading, so converting to marks and then to a percentage is what allows comparison across tests.

Formulas

Marks

marks = correct answers x marks per question

Percentage

percentage = marks / (questions x marks per question) x 100

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
