Is het possible to change the approach:
30 points total, 15 questions, every correct question earns points
to
15 questions. Every mistake deducts one point from total 10. So:
0 mistakes > 10
1 mistake > 9
2 mistakes > 8
etc...
until 9 mistakes which earns a grade 1 (and 10,11,12,13,14,15 mistakes obviously too)
