mark

make
1. 'mark'

A mark is a small stain or damaged area on a surface.

...grease marks.
There seems to be a dirty mark on it.

A mark is also a number or letter which indicates your score in a test or examination.

You need 120 marks out of 200 to pass.

Note that in American English, the word for this is usually points.

I got 30 points on the test out of 60.

Mark sometimes appears in the name of a vehicle or machine, followed by a number.

...his Mark II Ford Cortina.
2. 'make'
