Scores Out of 2 as Percentages
Every possible score on a 2-question test or assignment, converted to a percentage and letter grade — from 0/2 (0%) all the way to 2/2 (100%). Below the chart you'll find how to do the conversion yourself, the key passing and A-grade thresholds out of 2, and answers to the most common questions.
How to Convert a Score Out of 2 to a Percentage
To convert any score out of 2 to a percentage, divide the score by 2 and multiply by 100:
percent = (score ÷ 2) × 100
example: (2 ÷ 2) × 100 = 100%
The resulting percentage is then mapped to a letter grade on the standard 10-point scale. The full table below has already done this for every score out of 2.
Common Scores Out of 2
The score you need out of 2 to hit each key percentage threshold:
- Passing (D, 60%) 2/2 (100%) A
- Half marks (50%) 1/2 (50%) F
- C grade (70%) 2/2 (100%) A
- B grade (80%) 2/2 (100%) A
- A grade (90%) 2/2 (100%) A
- Perfect (100%) 2/2 (100%) A
In short: you need 2/2 to pass (60%) and 2/2 for an A (90%).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passing score out of 2?
On the standard 10-point scale, 60% is the passing threshold (a D). Out of 2, that means you need at least 2 correct to pass — 2/2 works out to 100%. Anything below 2/2 falls under 60% and is a failing grade.
How many questions can you get wrong out of 2 and still pass?
You can miss up to 0 questions out of 2 and still pass. Getting 2/2 correct gives you 100% (a D, the lowest passing grade). Miss more than 0 and you drop below 60%.
How many can you get wrong out of 2 and still get an A?
To earn an A you need 90% or higher. Out of 2, that means at least 2 correct (2/2 = 100%), so you can afford to miss at most 0 questions.
What is half of 2 as a percentage?
Half of 2 is 1, and 1/2 is exactly 50%. Under the standard 10-point scale that is a failing grade (F), since 50% is below the 60% passing line.
Is a score out of 2 graded on a 10-point scale?
Most US schools use the standard 10-point scale regardless of the denominator: A is 90%+, B is 80%+, C is 70%+, D is 60%+, and anything below 60% is an F. A raw score out of 2 is first converted to a percentage — divide by 2 and multiply by 100 — then mapped to a letter. Your own school's cutoffs may differ, so check your syllabus.
