conditional formatting for multiple columns and count cells based on colors

Dear Excel Community,

I have a two-part problem that I need help with. If you can help with either part, that would be so great.

Attached is a workbook with two sheets. The second sheet, "fall test results", is where data on the first sheet populate and it's the second sheet that I need help with. Currently, I have 3 columns "quiz 1, quiz 2 and quiz 3" that need to have conditional formatting and each column has its own values and cutoffs. So for example, for quiz 1, there needs to be 3 colors based on the following values: if between 0 and 24, then pink, if between 25 and 39, then yellow, if greater than 40, then green. Quiz two has the same 3 colors but with different cutoff values, etc. I currently have to go into each column, specify the conditional formatting and it becomes unwieldy when the actual sheet has 10-15 columns like these.

Request #1: I wonder if there's a vba that allows me to specify the cutoff values for each column in one go? I believe that doing so would be quicker, and by putting all the cutoffs in one place, it's easier for me to eyeball and double check my cutoffs so that I don't accidentally input the wrong cutoff values for the conditional formatting.

After I'm done with the conditional formatting starting from row 10 all the way down to row 1007, I need to go the boxes at the very top of the page (row 2 through row 6) and do a count based on the values from row 10-1007. Right now, what I do is input 3 formulas with the cutoffs once again for each quiz so that it can count for me. But this is very error prone--with so many cutoff values for different quizzes and having to put the same formulas twice, I've made mistakes in the past. So...

Request #2: is there a way for me to do a count based on the colors that poplate from row 10 in column C, D, and E?

I've attached my workbook for your review.

I realize that this is a large request, so any general or specific advice to streamline this process (VBA or not) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
