Grading notes for a 23-question test

On a 23-question test each question is worth 4.35 percentage points. One wrong answer gives 95.65% (A) and two wrong answers give 91.3% (A-). To pass with 60%, a student needs 14 correct and can miss up to 9.

Because each question moves the score by 4.35%, 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.
