THE MARK IN THE TEST vs THE MARK ON THE TEST

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'The mark on the test' is the more common and natural way to refer to a grade or score received on a test. On the other hand, 'the mark in the test' could be used to refer to a specific mark or symbol within the test itself.
