Grading Scale for 10 Questions
Percent and letter grade for every score on a 10-question test.
On a 10-question test, each question is worth 10 points. This chart uses a standard plus/minus scale (A- at 90%, B- at 80%, C- at 70% and D- at 60%), so "an A" here means A- or better. Students need 9 right for an A, 8 for a B, 7 for a C and 6 for a D. They can miss 1 question and still get an A, or 2 and still get a B.
- A9+ rightA- or better
- B8+ rightB- or better
- C7+ rightC- or better
- D6+ rightD- or better
At a glance
- Some exact grades never come up on this test (B+, B, C+, C, D+ and D), because each question moves the score 10 points.
- Of the 11 possible scores, 2 scores earn an A, 1 a B, 1 a C, 1 a D and 6 an F.
- The lowest score that isn't an F is 6 right (60%), a D-.
Examples
- 9 out of 10 is 90% (A-)
- 7 out of 10 is 70% (C-)
- 6 out of 10 is 60% (D-)
