Grading notes for a 27-question test

Twenty-seven-question tests often have three sections of nine questions, one for each skill or standard.

One wrong answer gives 96.3% (A) and two wrong answers give 92.59% (A-). To pass with 60%, a student needs 17 correct and can miss up to 10.

With 27 questions every letter grade on the standard scale, from A+ down to F, can be earned with a whole-number score, so the chart below shows the full range.

With three equal sections, a score of 9 out of 9 on one section is worth the same as any other section, so you can report section scores alongside the total to show students where they lost points.
