Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pass rate?
The pass rate is the percentage of candidates who passed the exam out of the total number of candidates. It is calculated as: (Passed ÷ Total) × 100.
How is the fail rate calculated?
The fail rate is the remaining percentage after subtracting the pass rate from 100%. Formula: 100 − Pass Rate.
Can the number of passed candidates exceed the total number of candidates?
No. If the passed count exceeds the total, the calculator will show an error. Passed candidates must be less than or equal to total candidates.
Who can benefit from this calculator?
This tool is ideal for teachers, school administrators, certification bodies, and exam organizers who want to quickly assess exam success rates.
Can I use this calculator for multiple exams?
Yes, you can recalculate for different exams by adjusting the input values. However, it only supports one set of inputs at a time.
