"did you get me correct" is grammatically wrong, as correct cannot be used like that, so it is wrong

Thank you very much.

As a last question,

Then is this sentence "You got it correct" correct English? If correct English, what does "You got it correct" mean?

@leopard10 it means "you're right!" and that whatever you said is all correct

Thank you very much!

Could you help me once again?

A. "Did I get the question correct?"

Q1) Is sentence A correct English.
Q2) Can sentence A mean "Did I understand the question correctly?"?
Q3) Can sentence A mean something different from "Did I understand the question correctly?"?

Would you please answer my three questions separately?
Thank you very much!

A. "Did I get the question correct?"

Q1) Is sentence A correct English.

Yep! Its grammatically and naturally correct.

Q2) Can sentence A mean "Did I understand the question correctly?"?

Yes, but it would work better if you ask it the way you did in the question.

Q3) Can sentence A mean something different from "Did I understand the question correctly?"?

It can also be, when someone’s marking your test or something, you can ask them “did I get it correct?”, where you’re asking if your work looks correct, but other than that, I don’t think so!

Thank you very much!

I didn't include the question mark (?) in Q1. Sorry!
Maybe does the absence of the question mark (?) in Q1 affect your answer to Q1?
