Quantitative - its a number, but not an identifier
Discreet - Your score is your score...it's not measured with decimals.
Interval - as least.. It is a numberic value, It has a meaningful starting point, it can be ranked or ordered.
(Interval and ratio level deal with quantitative data - Nominal and ordinal generally deal with qualitative data)

1)quantitative because it is a numerical characteristic
2)continous because any number on the scale can be represented
3)depending on how you use the data will determine if it is ordinal or interval

1 qualitative, deals with quality
2 discrete, each person has a discrete score
3 nominal, all values should surround a nominal value, usually just over 100 for college students
