#1 and #2 is correct, right? What about the others? Can we use 'in' instead of 'on'? What about other verbs? Are they acceptable?

3 answers

1 and 2 are both correct, yes.
4 is a possibility.

I wouldn't use any of the others, though.
In 3, the preposition "in" is incorrect.
in 5, it reads as if the 90 points were a gift!
Thank you.
Does 'on' mean 'about' or 'regarding'?
Here's the best webpage I found that gives the various meanings and inferences of the preposition "on." Be sure to check them all out!
