minus point
When in class I guess you can say " minus point when a pupil fails a question. Buy what about if he succeeds.
Would it be " plus point?
Thanks
In England we have an idiom for this: 'brownie points'.
'Timmy got loads of brownie points from teacher for the painting he did'.
More formally, plus point is fine. Or 'tick'.

I do not know where minus point came from. The way we normally say it in English is to lose points. When you succeed, you gain points.
