Score to Grade Calculator
Dutch schools often use a fixed model to convert a test score into a grade between 1 and 10. Enter your points and the maximum points to see your grade.

How this was calculated
- 1Calculate the percentage correct75 รท 100 = 75%
- 2Apply the correction model1 + 9 ร 0.75 = 7.8
Formula
Grade = 1 + 9 ร (score รท max score)
This linear model, also called the correction model, ensures 0% gives a 1 and 100% gives a 10. It is the most commonly used model in Dutch secondary education, though a teacher may apply a different model or an N-term adjustment.
Worked examples
75 out of 100 points
โ Grade = 1 + 9 ร 0.75 = 7.8.
55 out of 100 points
โ Grade = 1 + 9 ร 0.55 = 5.95, usually rounded to a 6.
Common mistakes
- Assuming 50% score gives a 5. Under the linear model it is 5.5, not 5.
When to use it
- Checking your own test before the official result is out.
Frequently asked questions
Does every teacher use this model?
