3. I received a grade of "A".
4. I received a grade of A.
5. I received an "A".
6. I received an A.

4. I received a grade of A.
5. I received an "A".

I received an "A" sounds O.K, but actually most people would simply say I got an "A" because
it is the most likely to be said on informal occasions.
