I really need help ~ 

It �s a grammar test.
 
The tiltle is using "do" and "does"
 
 Does  yo-yo a good student ?
 
I know we don �t say in this way ~~
 
But ~ If we only talk about the grammar ~
 
Is this sentence ( grammar ) wrong ?

I can �t get the meaning of this sentence very well. Do you mean "Is yo-yo a good student ?", considering that "yo-yo" is a proper name, of course!

Yes ~~  I know
 
People will say " Is yo-yo a good student " 
 
But the problem is the test paper only ask to using " do" and " does"
 
So ~~ If we write "Does  yo-yo a good student" ?
 
Is this sentence �s grammar wrong ?

I would say the sentence is incorrect. You can �t say a sentence is correct only for it �s grammar, it must have sense, right?
 
If the test paper only asked to use "do" and "does" it is also incorrect, because you can �t use "do" or "does" in this question - it �s an impossible task! So the student did what he had to do, because he had only those 2 options (which were wrong).
 
I hope I could help.
