Scores Out of 84 as Percentages
Every possible score on a 84-question test or assignment, converted to a percentage and letter grade — from 0/84 (0%) all the way to 84/84 (100%). Below the chart you'll find how to do the conversion yourself, the key passing and A-grade thresholds out of 84, and answers to the most common questions.
How to Convert a Score Out of 84 to a Percentage
To convert any score out of 84 to a percentage, divide the score by 84 and multiply by 100:
percent = (score ÷ 84) × 100
example: (76 ÷ 84) × 100 = 90.5%
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 84.
Common Scores Out of 84
The score you need out of 84 to hit each key percentage threshold:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passing score out of 84?
On the standard 10-point scale, 60% is the passing threshold (a D). Out of 84, that means you need at least 51 correct to pass — 51/84 works out to 60.7%. Anything below 51/84 falls under 60% and is a failing grade.
How many questions can you get wrong out of 84 and still pass?
You can miss up to 33 questions out of 84 and still pass. Getting 51/84 correct gives you 60.7% (a D, the lowest passing grade). Miss more than 33 and you drop below 60%.
How many can you get wrong out of 84 and still get an A?
To earn an A you need 90% or higher. Out of 84, that means at least 76 correct (76/84 = 90.5%), so you can afford to miss at most 8 questions.
What is half of 84 as a percentage?
Half of 84 is 42, and 42/84 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 84 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 84 is first converted to a percentage — divide by 84 and multiply by 100 — then mapped to a letter. Your own school's cutoffs may differ, so check your syllabus.
