the tests improve by 3 points, therefore:
test 1 x
test 2 x+3
test 3 x+6
test 4 x+9
the mean is the sum of the test scores divided by the number of tests. also, we know the mean = 69.5%
therefore, we get the equation:
(4x+18)/4 = 69.5%
4x+18 = 278
4x = 260
x = 65
therefore the score on the first test was 65%

test 2 x+3
