Hi friends, which one do you prefer?

1. Why did you get so low marks on this test? oh because this paper has a proofreading section.
2. Why did you score so low marks on this test? oh because this paper has a proofreading section.

Answer

Neither.  Either:  Why did you get SUCH low marks on this test?   Or, why did you score so low on this test?  You “score low” or you “get low marks”, but you don’t “score low marks.”

Answer

Thanks a lot

Answer

Personally as an amateur in the academic assessment area, I'd have no problem with "scoring low marks". John's answers are usually great, so I'd suspect he is technically correct.

Answer

Common in American English:

Why did you do bad/poorly on this test?
Why did you get a bad grade/score on this test?
