To determine your grade and percentage, all the scores across the two sections are added together. Your sum is divided by the total score and multiplied by 100%.

Total Score             x     100
Total Score                   1

If the total available score in 150 and I was able to score 30 in part 1, 80 in part 2. That will sum up to 100. To calculate your percentage score?

(110÷150) x 100% = 73.3% = B2
