Grading notes for an 8-question test
Eight-question quizzes are common for vocabulary checks, short reading quizzes and quick math skill checks.
One wrong answer gives 87.5% (B+) and two wrong answers give 75% (C). To pass with 60%, a student needs 5 correct and can miss up to 3.
Because each question moves the score by 12.5%, only 5 of the 11 letter grades on the standard scale can actually be earned on this test: A+, B+, C, D, F. No whole-number score lands on A, A-, B, B-, C+, C-. Half-point scores can fill some of those gaps.
Each question is worth 12.5%, a clean number that makes mental math easy: 7/8 is 87.5% and 6/8 is 75%. Because there is no score between 87.5% and 100%, no student can earn an A or A- on an eight-question quiz unless they get everything right.
