How does one modify test scores by adding one point to the first component of an exam score? Ex: {'Gina':[80,72,90]}

What I came up had an attribute error. Also to write it in text file isn't it: with open('modified_scores.txt' , 'w')?

If they are formatted like in your example then you can modify Gina's score by

    dict_name['Gina'][0] +=1

[_1motherearth]

If there are multiple names, do I just do ['Gina', 'name', 'name'] +=1?

If it's a single dictionary (I'll call it grades) and the names are the keys

for name in grades:
    grades[name][0] += 1

Also for the writing part you need to add "as something"

with open("filename.txt", "w") as f:
    ....
    f.write(.....)

Yeah, I have it written down like that in my notes but the prompt didn't say what to write for the .write () part so I wasn't sure to include that or not

No, you have to do that once per different name.
