Why is félicitations plural?
Why does French use pour in Félicitations pour ton score?

Could I say Félicitations pour tes résultats ! instead?
Yes, absolutely. That changes the nuance a little.
- ton score refers to one specific score

For example:
- Félicitations pour ton score ! = congratulations on that specific score
- Félicitations pour tes résultats ! = congratulations on your results overall
Both are natural, but they are not exactly the same.
Is score a normal French word, or is it just borrowed from English?

- games
- sports
- tests
- competitions
- app results
Depending on context, French might also use other words such as:
- note = grade/mark
- résultat = result
- points = points
So if this is about an exam, note might sometimes sound more natural:
- Félicitations pour ta note !
If it is about a game or app, score is very natural.
