Frequently asked questions
- What does it mean to curve a grade?
- A curve adds a fixed number of points to every student's score, or scales scores so the highest becomes 100%. This calculator uses the flat-addition method.
- Can my curved score exceed 100%?
- This calculator caps the curved score at 100% since most gradebooks do not allow scores above 100.
