Printable grading chart for any total

A grading chart lists every score a test can have, next to its percent and letter grade. Teachers sometimes call it an EZ grader chart. With one beside you, a pile of quizzes goes a lot faster, since there's no math to do on each paper. Got a 37-point quiz? Type 37 as the total and the whole chart changes.
