Why Use Grade Guardian?
Different schools use different grading scales. Grade Guardian supports four common grading systems: Standard (A=90%), Plus/Minus (with A+, A, A- distinctions), Strict (A=93%), and Lenient (A=85%). The calculator uses the formula (correct ÷ total) × 100 and matches your percentage against the selected scale's thresholds.
The Quick Reference feature is a game-changer for test prep. Before you even take the test, enter the total questions to see exactly how many you can miss and still get an A, B, C, or D. This helps you prioritize which questions to focus on when time is running out.
