Luckily, I work in a school without grades or exams but ...I think that for every different part of an exam, you can get a certain amount of points. The total of the points you got for every part will make up your final mark or grade. So it would be: How many points are given for part II of the exam/test paper? What grade/mark did you get in English?
Others may be able to give a better answer.

To add to Marion �s answer - How many marks are available for part 2? How many marks are there for Part 2? And I think �How many marks are given..? � is OK. How many marks did you get in English? It �s OK, but maybe a bit old-fashioned? Probably kids would say �What did you get for English? �
Generally, in English secondary schools, people go by levels (although these have recently been abolished by the government) and grades. So, �What level are you at in English? � �What �s your grade in English? � They are rarely given marks out of ten, or whatever; or percentages. Just levels and grades. This may not be true for kids in primary education. |

In the US we generally call "marks" "grades".
"What grade did you get on the test?"(asking for overall grade)
"What was you score on the last test?"(asking for #of points or percentage)
"How many points is section II worth?"
"What is the maximum possible points for section II?" |
