Mark
Hi,
“What mark did you get in or from Geography?”
“I got an A for or in a maths test.”
I know that in the US they use ‘grade’ instead of ‘mark’ and ‘math’ instead of ‘maths.
I’m just interested in the prepositions.
Thank you.

0"What mark did you get in geography?" might be heard in the US today. But you'd more likely hear: "What (grade) did you get in geography?" The word "mark" would usually be heard in the lower elementary school grades, say, kindergarten to fourth grade. In those years kids would typically find "mark" easier to comprehend and say, than "grade."
The word "maths" is unknown in the US

Grade is used in the UK to refer to results of GCSE or A level exams. In the US it is a regular thing given in school
