I don't understand. A student's grade over a marking period will depend on many quizzes and homework assignments and a few tests. It's not necessary to have a 90% on each quiz in order to get 90% of all points. My son has A's or A-'s in his classes, because he tends to very well on tests but often gets 4/5 or 8/10 on individual assignments.

How often to assess students and what fraction of grades appearing on report cards should be A's are separate questions.
