Grading notes for a 25-question test

Twenty-five questions is a very common length for chapter tests and standardized-style practice tests.

One wrong answer gives 96% (A) and two wrong answers give 92% (A-). To pass with 60%, a student needs 15 correct and can miss up to 10.

Because each question moves the score by 4%, only 10 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C, C-, D, F. No whole-number score lands on C+. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.

Each question is worth exactly 4%, so you can grade in your head: multiply the number correct by 4. 24/25 is 96% (an A), 20/25 is 80% (a B-), and 15/25 is 60%, the usual passing line.
