## Overview

The Test Score Percentage Calculator quickly converts raw points earned on an assessment into a percentage, letter grade, and points lost. It provides a clear breakdown of academic performance by comparing your score against the total possible points with customizable decimal precision.

## Inputs

- **Points Earned** (number)
- **Total Points** (number)
- **Decimal Places** (number)

## When to use

- Grading classroom assignments or final exams to determine final letter grades.
- Evaluating practice test results to track study progress and improvement.
- Calculating the percentage score for professional certification quizzes or employee assessments.

## How it works

- Enter the number of points earned on the test or assignment.
- Input the total possible points available for the assessment.
- Adjust the decimal places to your preferred level of precision for the final percentage.
- Review the generated percentage, letter grade, and total points lost instantly.

## Use cases

- Teachers converting raw points into report card grades for a class of students.
- Students analyzing mock exam performance to identify how many points are needed to reach a target grade.
- Corporate trainers scoring employee compliance tests to ensure they meet the minimum passing percentage.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is the score percentage calculated?

It is calculated by dividing the points earned by the total points and multiplying the result by 100.

### Does the tool provide a letter grade?

Yes, it automatically assigns a letter grade based on the calculated percentage score.

### Can I calculate scores with decimal points?

Yes, both points earned and total points support decimal values for precise grading of partial credit.

### What does the 'points lost' metric show?

It displays the exact difference between the total possible points and the points you actually earned.

### Is there a pass/fail indicator?

The tool includes a 'passedAt60Percent' check to see if the score meets a standard 60% passing threshold.

Transmission sensible load Q_trans = Σ(A_i·U_i·ΔT) over envelope surfaces entered one per line as 'area,U' (U in W/(m²·K)). Infiltration/ventilation sensible Q_s = 1.23·ACH·V·ΔT and latent Q_l = 3010·ACH·V·ΔW (W), where ΔW is the indoor-outdoor humidity-ratio difference derived from dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity via the Magnus saturation fit. Total cooling load = total sensible + total latent. Temperature in °C/K/°F (only differences matter), area in m²/ft².
