Marks
Is the word "mark" that denotes somebody's performance in an examination or test countable or uncountable ?
Do we say "I got one mark" and "I got three marks" or do we use "marks" after singular and plural numbers alike as in "I got one marks" ? Does the "mark" denote the score out of 100 ?

It is countable, and it is an assigned grade, not necessarily a score out of 100. 'A' is a mark. 'A' and '89' are both marks.

- Each perfomance warrants one: I got two marks, a high mark in science and a low mark in English.
