Grading notes for a 17-question test
Seventeen-question quizzes usually come from a 20-question quiz after removing a few flawed or untaught items.
One wrong answer gives 94.12% (A) and two wrong answers give 88.24% (B+). To pass with 60%, a student needs 11 correct and can miss up to 6.
Because each question moves the score by 5.88%, only 8 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, A, B+, B-, C, C-, D, F. No whole-number score lands on A-, B, C+. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
If you removed questions from a longer test, tell students the new total so they can check their own percentage. A dropped question should be removed from every student's paper, not just from the papers that missed it.
