Q1: What is a good percentage in 10th grade?
A: Generally, 75% and above is considered good, 85% and above is excellent, and 90%+ is outstanding. However, this may vary by educational board and country.
Q2: How is percentage different from CGPA?
A: Percentage is a direct calculation of marks out of 100, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading system on a scale (usually 10-point) that is later converted to percentage.
Q3: Can I calculate percentage for individual subjects?
A: Yes, this calculator works for individual subjects as well as overall percentage by using the respective marks and total marks.
Q4: What if I have marks in different formats?

Q5: How accurate is this percentage calculation?
A: This calculation is mathematically precise. However, different educational boards may have specific rounding rules or additional factors in their final percentage calculation.
