1. specify the compiler/language
2. supply error messages you got when the programme was executed or compiled.
3. indicate if it is a compilation, execution or logical error.
This one looks fishy:
output "Enter student name or ", QUIT, " to quit "
probably should read
output "Enter student name or QUIT to quit "
here:
while sub < NUM_TESTS
output "Enter score "
input score
total = total + score
endwhile
will run forever unless you increment sub.
while sub < NUM_TESTS
output "Enter score "
input score
total = total + score
sub=sub+1
endwhile
letterGrade = GRADES[NUM_TESTS]
means you'll always get an F.
I suggest
letterGrade = GRADES[sub]
Good luck!
