Grading notes for a 9-question test
Nine-question quizzes usually appear when a teacher removes one bad item from a 10-question quiz, or when a worksheet has three sections of three problems.
One wrong answer gives 88.89% (B+) and two wrong answers give 77.78% (C+). To pass with 60%, a student needs 6 correct and can miss up to 3.
Because each question moves the score by 11.11%, 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 11.11%, which makes rounding visible: 8/9 is 88.89%, which rounds to 89% as a whole number. Decide your rounding rule before you grade so a student at 88.89% is not treated differently from one at 89%.

An A (93% or higher) needs 9 correct out of 9, so you can miss 0. A B (83% or higher) needs 8 correct, so you can miss 1. On a 10-point scale, where an A starts at 90%, the numbers are a little more forgiving.
