Grading notes for a 6-question test
On a 6-question test each question is worth 16.67 percentage points. One wrong answer gives 83.33% (B) and two wrong answers give 66.67% (D). To pass with 60%, a student needs 4 correct and can miss up to 2.
Because each question moves the score by 16.67%, only 4 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, B, D, F. No whole-number score lands on A, A-, B+, B-, C+, C, C-. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
