Is the sentence "How did you do for linear algebra?" grammatically correct or should I use "How did you do on linear algebra" instead?

As per title

Thus far I have only seen people using on instead of on, can one use for in the place of on instead?

I take it you're talking about performance in an exam. If so, use "in".
