When you can't be bothered with your bad manager/company any more get a different job.
Don't burn bridges.
Working for someone is a business transaction, not a school class. No company should grade you like a child and you should judge the company as such.
Just reply that you rate him 3/7.
Measuring developer proficiency in terms of a single number is particularly ridiculous.
Every D&D character is more multifaceted than that.

Metrics like that are bullshit. They’re worthless carnival cash designed to keep employees in line lest they demand actual compensation for the value they truly provide.

Make sure you are getting paid what you are worth, and ignore the rating system.
To be clear, it’s absolutely your manager’s job to set expectations and to walk you through the cultural norms of the company, but bad managers happen. Maybe it’s worth having a chat with some of your colleagues who’ve been in the company for a few months to understand how their integration went and see if they have some tips for you (assuming your manager isn’t more forthcoming on how to get a higher score).
