Grading notes for a 16-question test
Sixteen-question quizzes often come from a worksheet with four sections of four problems.
One wrong answer gives 93.75% (A) and two wrong answers give 87.5% (B+). To pass with 60%, a student needs 10 correct and can miss up to 6.
Because each question moves the score by 6.25%, only 7 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, A, B+, B-, C, D, F. No whole-number score lands on A-, B, C+, C-. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
Sixteen is easy to split into four equal skill sections of four questions, which makes it simple to see whether a student's missed questions cluster in one skill or are spread across the test.

How many questions can you miss on a 16 question test and still pass?
With a 60% pass mark you need at least 10 correct out of 16 (62.5%), so you can miss up to 6 questions and still pass. Some schools use 65% or 70% as the pass mark; you can change it in the test grader settings.

An A (93% or higher) needs 15 correct out of 16, so you can miss 1. A B (83% or higher) needs 14 correct, so you can miss 2. On a 10-point scale, where an A starts at 90%, the numbers are a little more forgiving.
