Hi, there!

Look at the following sentences.

My favorite subject is English.
I often get a good score in the exam.

I'd like to ask you about the second sentence.
Does this sentence make sense?

In my opinion, some words should be changed,
for example, 'a good score' should be 'good marks'
'in the exam' should be 'in exams.'

Am I correct?
What do you think?

I'm looking forward to your answers.

Thanks.

It makes sense if you change "in" to "on." "I often get a good score on the exam." You could also say, "I usually get good scores / marks on my exams."

In some places, "score" is more commonly used, in others, "mark."
