Square Root Curve Calculator
The Square Root Curve Calculator is a simple and accurate online tool that helps you convert percentage grades into square root curve grades instantly. It is designed to make grade evaluation fair, easy, and transparent for students and teachers. Just enter your percentage score, and the calculator will automatically apply the square root formula to give you the curved grade within seconds. As part of our collection of All Types Calculators Online, this tool provides a quick and reliable way to calculate adjusted grades without any manual work.
Square Root Curve Formula
The calculator uses a simple mathematical formula:
SRG = √G × 10
SRG = Square Root Curve Grade
G = Original Percentage Grade
√G = Square root of the percentage grade
After calculating the square root, the result is multiplied by 10 to convert it into a curved percentage score.
Example
Original Grade: 10%
Step 1: √10 ≈ 3.162
Step 2: 3.162 × 10 = 31.62%
So, a 10% score becomes approximately 31.62% after applying the square root curve.
