Marks
Hi,
Can your marks 'take a drop' when you don't study or just 'drop'?
I heard 'her marks took a precipitous drop' in a film, but I'm not sure if it's correct as I didn't find any further reference of it on the Internet.
Thank you.

It's OK for a movie script. After Annette fell in love with Anthony, her marks took a precipitous drop'. She spend all her time posting love messages on Facebook, text messages, Instagram and every other means of communicate available to her.

0It's possible in the right context, but not ordinarily. You wouldn't say "My marks took a drop last semester" when you could just say "My marks dropped last semester." You might colloquially say "My marks took a hit last semester", "a hit" meaning damage.
