How EZ Grader & Quick Test Scoring Chart works
The EZ Grader is an indispensable grading tool used by educators, teaching assistants, tutors, and students to quickly evaluate tests, quizzes, worksheets, and exams. Rather than performing manual division for every student paper, an EZ grader provides an instantaneous reference chart of scores corresponding to the number of incorrect answers.
Our online EZ Grader generates a clean, color-coded grading chart for any custom question count from 1 to 200 questions. It supports single-paper scoring lookups, standard 100% point scales, and optional half-point penalties (-0.5) for partial credit questions.
Designed for fast classroom workflow, the tool includes a dedicated print feature allowing teachers to produce physical reference cheat sheets for their desks and grading stations.

How to Use the Online EZ Grader Table
Locate the total number of questions at the top of your test paper. Count the number of missed questions on a student's submission, then cross-reference the "Number Wrong" column in the EZ Grader table to immediately read off the exact percentage score and letter grade without mental arithmetic or repetitive calculator entry.
Grading Scales: Standard 10-Point vs. 7-Point Grading Systems
Most institutions use a standard 10-point scale: 90-100% = A, 80-89% = B, 70-79% = C, 60-69% = D, <60% = F. Some specialized high schools or medical programs use a strict 7-point scale: 93-100% = A, 85-92% = B, 77-84% = C, 70-76% = D, <70% = F. The EZ Grader chart displays exact percentage values so it works across both systems.
Accelerating Classroom Grading Workflows
By referencing an EZ Grader chart, teachers can grade a stack of 30 tests in under 10 minutes, eliminating calculation fatigue, rounding inconsistencies, and transcription mistakes during busy testing periods.
