Score low/high ...

Hello,

could you please tell me if I could substitute "low/high" with adverbs such as "badly", "worse", "better"?

"He scored very low/high on his test."

Thank you

Low/high are accurate descriptions. For comparison with someone else, worse/better are correct. I would not use 'badly'.

Thank you, Philip. Can you also tell me what word I can replace "score" with?

Score is probably the best word. You could change the entire sentence to 'he did very well/poorly' on the test.

Here, did is a verb, so considering that we will use an adverb after that like poorly and not poor. am i right?
