Scores Out of 37 as Percentages
Every possible score on a 37-question test or assignment, converted to a percentage and letter grade — from 0/37 (0%) all the way to 37/37 (100%). Below the chart you'll find how to do the conversion yourself, the key passing and A-grade thresholds out of 37, and answers to the most common questions.
How to Convert a Score Out of 37 to a Percentage
To convert any score out of 37 to a percentage, divide the score by 37 and multiply by 100:
percent = (score ÷ 37) × 100
example: (34 ÷ 37) × 100 = 91.9%
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 37.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passing score out of 37?
On the standard 10-point scale, 60% is the passing threshold (a D). Out of 37, that means you need at least 23 correct to pass — 23/37 works out to 62.2%. Anything below 23/37 falls under 60% and is a failing grade.
How many questions can you get wrong out of 37 and still pass?
You can miss up to 14 questions out of 37 and still pass. Getting 23/37 correct gives you 62.2% (a D, the lowest passing grade). Miss more than 14 and you drop below 60%.
How many can you get wrong out of 37 and still get an A?
To earn an A you need 90% or higher. Out of 37, that means at least 34 correct (34/37 = 91.9%), so you can afford to miss at most 3 questions.
What is half of 37 as a percentage?
Half of 37 is 18.5, and 18.5/37 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 37 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 37 is first converted to a percentage — divide by 37 and multiply by 100 — then mapped to a letter. Your own school's cutoffs may differ, so check your syllabus.
