Score / mark
1. I got a score of 20 in that course. (correct)
2. I scored 20 in that course. (correct)
3. My score was 20 in that course. (correct)
Hi,
As far as I know Americans usually use "score" when talking about students' school result.
And British speakers usually use "mark" when talking about students' school result.
I want to ask the British speakers to tell me whether it's OK to use "mark or marks or marked" in the three sentences above or not?
I mean:
4. I got a grade/mark of 20 in that course.
5. I marked 20 in that course.
6. My grade/mark was 20 in that course.
Thank you.

No, not correct. We use 'score' only for tests. Courses receive 'grades' (as do tests) in AmE.

Well, if a student takes golf in a physical education class, he can brag about his golf score, but he will receive a grade for the class itself.
