What is happening? What are the results you are getting? What are the blocks that set the score? ---

basically its a quiz app every time you choose a correct answer it is saved in variable called app score so what i want is that if i have 100 question (app question number) in my quiz and person answers 80 correct (app score) i want it to do 80/100 x 100 = 80% which is grade B ---

I get WHAT you are doing, I was asking what RESULTS you are getting as you say it isn’t working. I can’t recreate your issue based on the blocks you are showing. Somewhere you have blocks that tell the app if the answer was right or wrong and sets your score variable. ---

First the percentage and LetterGrade are initialized to what? Also add a new label and change label text to “percentage” variable so we know what values you are getting. ---

Thats fine but if you truly want help, you will either tell us what the values you are getting are from the variable I asked for or share a part of the app. ---

That is because you set your logic in reverse. Suppose someone got a score of 60%. First test is “is score less or equal to 95%?” With 60%, I’d say the answer is ‘yes’, so the app says “Your garde A+ (excellent!)” which I think is not what you desire. What you need is to check if the score is ABOVE 95. Change all those “≤” with “≥” and things should be OK. Edit: by the way, since Alert1.Title is always set to “Your Grade”, you could put it out of test sequence. Same for the “Score2 / Question Number2 \* 100” bit, it could be calculated only once and put in a variable and then used for the comparison. In fact, all that test “if else if” block need to set is the value of Alert1.Message; the rest can be pulled out of there for a much smaller block count. ---
