Your post needs to be corrected.
This passage " 78% of the questions on a student's test were correct " sounds as if you scratch a nail on a glass.
Correctly is to say " 78% of the on a student's test were correct ".
Is it so difficult to understand ?
Consult with your professor, from whom you got this assignment, and show him (or her) this my response.
Or provide his (or her) contacts to me, and I will explain him (or her)
