They have made it singular,.

So it should be.

If you work hard you will get a good grade in the examination.

IF YOU WORK HARD, YOU SHALL GET GOOD GRADES IN AN EXAMINATION.

If and will must not be used together in a sentence.

Grade should be singular isnt it.

If he works hard, he is sure to get good grades. Therefore, "will" is used here.

...good 'grade / grades ' in the 'examination/examinations'.

Grade must be singular. And it must be 'a good grade'.

@Sameer : If and will should not be used together but you can use it with comma.

If you fall, you will get hurt.

So I feel the usage of If+will clause is correct over here.

An examination can be plural. But grade should be singular. Isn't it?
