How to use 成绩
成绩 is most often used for school grades and test scores, but it also covers results and achievements at work or in sports. Common verbs are 取得 (qǔdé) and 提高 (tígāo). Example: 他这次考试成绩很好。(Tā zhè cì kǎoshì chéngjì hěn hǎo.) His grades on this exam were very good.
成 (chéng) means to complete or succeed, and 绩 (jì) means accomplishment, the results you pile up from work. Put them together: what you have completed and accomplished shows up as your 成绩, your results or grades.
Common mistake: Learners often write 绩 with the wrong side, confusing it with 积 (jī, to accumulate) or 迹 (jì, trace), so remember 绩 has the silk radical 纟. Also, 成绩 is a noun, so do not use it as a verb meaning to achieve; say 取得成绩 (qǔdé chéngjì) instead.
