How Grade My Life works
35 questions. 8 areas. One letter grade. About 6 minutes.
The quiz
You move a slider from 1 to 10 on 35 plain questions about how your life is actually going — career and money, relationships, physical health, mental health, social life, growth and purpose, love and sex, and habits. No account, no right answers, and the slider has to be moved before you can continue, so lazy straight-line runs don't count.
The grade
Each area is the average of its questions; your overall score is the average across all 8 areas. Letters run F to A — and above A sits S, for 9.0 and up. Fewer than 1 in 100 people get one. One question — how you'd rate your childhood — is asked but never graded: your past doesn't go on the report card.
The comparison
Your percentile is computed against the real people who took the same questions — the live count and averages are on the State of Life page, recomputed from the database, never invented. Every result is stamped with the quiz version it was taken on, so comparisons stay honest as questions evolve.
The rematch
A grade is a snapshot, not a verdict. Retake it about every 3 months — on the same device, your results show exactly which areas moved and by how much. You can also send your score to a friend: your link carries your numbers, and their results open with the two of you compared category by category.
Questions people ask
Is Grade My Life free?
Yes. The quiz, your grade, the full category breakdown, sharing, and challenging friends are free, with no account. Optional paid reports exist for people who want a deeper written analysis.
How is the grade calculated?
You answer 35 slider questions from 1 to 10 across 8 areas of life. Each area is the average of its questions; your overall score is the average across areas, turned into a letter grade. S (9+) sits above A — fewer than 1 in 100 people reach it.
Is this scientific?
It is structured self-reflection, not a clinical instrument. The questions are plain-language self-assessments, the comparisons come from real people who took the same questions, and the childhood question is deliberately not graded. It is for reflection and entertainment, not diagnosis or advice.
Who sees my answers?
Individual answers are never shared or sold. Public statistics are aggregates only — averages across many people. Details are in the privacy policy.
What is the average life grade?
The live average from real takers is shown on the site and on the State of Life page — most people land near the middle of the scale, around a 6 out of 10.
Can I retake it?
Yes — retaking about every 3 months is the point. Retake on the same device and your results show exactly what moved since last time, category by category.
