Dressage Test Calculator

Free Dressage Test Calculator

1546 tests, 53 federations, 11 regions: the world’s largest dressage calculator collection* that you can take with you to the showground even without signal.

Pick your federation and your test, enter the marks, and get the percentage. Coefficients, collective marks and errors of course are all counted properly, even for custom tests.

Test sheets built in

Federations and organisers we cover.

Choose a federation and a test and the sheet sets itself up: the movement count, which movements carry a coefficient, and the collective marks. Verified with each body's own published sheets. Each link opens their test page.

Each card opens that federation's page here, with every test's structure and its error of course rule. Need a federation or test we do not have? Let us know.

How scoring works

How a dressage score is worked out.

Every movement is marked out of 10. Add up what you were awarded, counting a coefficient movement twice and including the collective marks, divide by the most the sheet could have given you, and multiply by 100. The bookkeeping is what catches people out: a coefficient missed, a collective forgotten. Pick a test above and the calculator keeps the books for you.

Common questions

Quick answers about dressage scores.

How do you calculate a dressage percentage?

Add up every mark, counting coefficient movements twice and including the collective marks, divide by the sheet's maximum and multiply by 100: 168.5 out of 240 is 70.21%. The calculator does it as you type.

What does ×2 mean on a sheet?

That movement counts twice, so a 7 is worth 14. Pick a built-in test and the coefficients are set for you.

How many marks is an error of course?

It depends on the federation. Many take 2 marks, then 4, and eliminate on the third; others take percentage points off the score. The calculator applies the rule of the test you pick.

What is a good dressage score?

Roughly 60% is a sound test, 65% a good one and above 70% strong, though it shifts with the level and the judge.

Is it free, and does it work without a signal?

Free, with no account. Once it has opened it works with no signal, and your marks never leave your phone.

The arithmetic

What this calculator is doing, so you can check it.

Nothing here is a secret, and a calculator you cannot check is not much use when a placing depends on it.

  • 1546 tests from 53 federations are built in. That is more than any other dressage calculator carries.* Choosing one sets the movements, the doubles and the collectives, and prints the maximum so you can check it against the sheet in your hand. Only structure is held here, never the wording of a test.
  • Marks run 0 to 10 in half marks. Anything else is snapped to the nearest half, so 7.3 counts as 7.5 and the box updates to show you that. Where a test's own sheet allows tenths, as freestyle artistic marks and young horse classes usually do, those boxes take them.
  • A coefficient movement counts twice. Tick ×2 on the rows your sheet marks as double, and the row total and the maximum both double with it.
  • The maximum comes from your sheet. It is the sum of every coefficient, multiplied by ten, so it changes as you set the sheet up.
  • Errors of course follow the chosen federation's own rule. Every federation's current penalty was researched from its rule book. Some take marks off the total before the percentage, commonly 2 then a further 4 with elimination on the third; others take percentage points off the score. Where a test's own sheet prints a different rule, as many freestyles do, the calculator follows the sheet. The rule in force is named under the errors box, and every federation's rule is listed here.
  • The percentage is live, to two decimal places. While the sheet is part-marked it is worked out over the marks entered so far, and it settles into the final figure as the last mark goes in. Print and Save still wait for a complete sheet.
  • Every total is held in half marks as whole numbers. Decimals are worked out only at the last step, so nothing drifts in the second decimal place against the paper sheet.
  • Row colours match the marks. Red through amber and green to blue at 7.5 and above, so a sheet reads at a glance.
Three things worth saying

Where your marks go, why it works offline, and what this is not.

Your marks stay with you

Every calculation happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, and there is no account to make. That also means a reload clears the sheet, so finish a test before you refresh.

It works without a signal

Your browser keeps a copy of this page and the files it needs, so it opens again on a dead connection. Those are our own files only: no marks, no identifiers, nothing about you. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app.

Pick your test, or build any sheet

1546 tests from 53 federations are built in, so choosing one sets the movements, the doubles and the collectives for you. Anything else, including unaffiliated classes and other disciplines, you set up by hand. The wording of a test belongs to the body that publishes it and is not reproduced here, only the structure the arithmetic needs, so you keep the paper sheet in front of you either way.

It counts, it does not judge

This works out a percentage from marks you have already been given. It has no opinion on whether a movement deserved a 6 or a 7, and where its answer differs from the sheet in your hand, the sheet is right.

This is one small part of a much bigger job.

Working out one percentage is easy. Running a whole class, ranking a league across a season, and keeping the accounts straight is the hard part, and that is what Members Hub does for a club. Latchpost does the equivalent for the people who look after the horses. Both are from BitLith, the company behind this calculator.
