Grading notes for a 10-question test
Ten questions is the most familiar quiz length: spelling and vocabulary quizzes, weekly math facts and short reading checks.
One wrong answer gives 90% (A-) and two wrong answers give 80% (B-). To pass with 60%, a student needs 6 correct and can miss up to 4.
Because each question moves the score by 10%, only 6 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, A-, B-, C-, D, F. No whole-number score lands on A, B+, B, C+, C. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
Every question is exactly 10%, so the percentage is just the number correct with a zero on the end. Ten-question quizzes are easy to grade by hand, which is why the full chart is mainly useful for half-point scores such as 8.5/10.

How to calculate a grade out of 10

How much is each question worth on a 10 question test?
Each question is worth 100 ÷ 10 = 10 percentage points, so every wrong answer lowers the grade by 10%. If your questions are worth different points, add up the points instead and divide by the total points possible.
How many questions can you miss on a 10 question test and still pass?
With a 60% pass mark you need at least 6 correct out of 10 (60%), so you can miss up to 4 questions and still pass. Some schools use 65% or 70% as the pass mark; you can change it in the test grader settings.
How many do you need for an A or a B out of 10?
An A (93% or higher) needs 10 correct out of 10, so you can miss 0. A B (83% or higher) needs 9 correct, so you can miss 1. On a 10-point scale, where an A starts at 90%, the numbers are a little more forgiving.
