Grading notes for a 22-question test

On a 22-question test each question is worth 4.55 percentage points. One wrong answer gives 95.45% (A) and two wrong answers give 90.91% (A-). To pass with 60%, a student needs 14 correct and can miss up to 8.

Because each question moves the score by 4.55%, only 9 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, A, A-, B, B-, C+, C-, D, F. No whole-number score lands on B+, C. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
