ok what kind of errors are you getting?

something i notice off the bat
1. you should declare your variables to store test scores in the main function and pass them to your later functions.

2. int& ? are you trying to declare a int pointer if so the syntax is int*
& means address of.

3. I would check to see the lowest score by testing the first 2 and then take the lowest for the next. I would also use an array to store the integers.

Code:

int current = 0;
int next = 1;

for( int i; i < ARRAY_SIZE-2; i++){
   if ( score[next] < score[current] ){
      current = next;
      next++;
    }
}

when that code finishes executing then current will contain the index of the lowest score. you could also fill the array so that it is sorted from lowest to highest.
