T'as eu quel note ?
« note » is feminine, so the interrogative must be « quelle », not « quel ».
T'as eu quelle notes ?
« note » is singular here; the plural would be « notes », which changes the meaning.
T'as eu quelle note
In written French a question mark is required; omitting it can make the sentence look like a statement.

Cultural Tip
In France, grades are usually given on a 0‑20 scale, with 10 considered a passing mark. Saying “15 sur 20” is a good score, while “8 sur 20” would be a failing one. Because the phrase is very informal, avoid using it with teachers or in written exams; opt for the more formal « Quelle note avez‑vous eue ? ».
