You probably had the best possible test grade back when you were in school. That’s also the clue coming from the July 8, 2025, edition of the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. We’re looking for a five-letter answer for the down section. So the answer we’re looking for is a grade, but most of them are numbers or one-letter grades.
What’s the best possible test grade you can get?
Normally, the answer would be 100, but those aren’t letters, and there are only 3 of them. The correct answer to the clue is APLUS. That reads as A Plus or A+, which is definitely the highest grade that you can get on all levels of school and education.
Surely you got an A-plus score at least once back in your school days. A lot of people want to get this grade, and some even flaunt the numerous A-plus test scores they get. There’s nothing wrong with that, and you should be proud of your test grades.
