Most likely everyone except Hermione, did better in the tests. After 
all, Snape is not there. It is even mentioned how this makes a 
difference for Harry (and I think Neville).  Plus, even when Harry did 
fine, Snape was disappearing his potions or breaking the flask. It 
isn't all about him not doing it well, but more about not doing well 
under Snape's eye.
