Mnemonic

You know this kanji means Seven, so let's use that to remember the reading too. Seven is a lucky number, usually, but this time it wasn't so good.

Seven percent is all she got on her test after she cheated (しち) on it.

Hints

How unbelievable is it that someone got seven percent on a test, especially if you try to cheat? Imagine the girl you loathe the most from school, and imagine her cheating on the test (it's important it's a girl, because of the "she" part in she cheated (しち). Then, imagine your happiness when she's super upset about getting seven percent on it. Serves her right, obviously.
