The error message says everything, your score variable holds an int, but it needs to be a string to be written to a file. (It even tells you the line number.)
So convert it to a string, like this: text_file.write(str(score))

Apart from that, you have a bug in your code caused by a typo in a variable name:
socre = score + 0. This does not cause the error, but will cause the code not to work as expected. This is a perfect example of why lazyness can be terrible when programming: By copy-pasting your code block, you copied the bug as well, and now you have multiple bugs by copying a redundant code. Using a function instead and calling it multiple times would have kept the bug in a single place.

Also you are importing the same module random multiple times, which hurts readability of your code a lot. Put all imports on the top of your module, and do not write the same import multiple times (once it is imported it stays imported).

Whether the quiz code is right or not, whether it can be optimized or not, here's a little help on your error. Since Python says that in

text_file.write(score)

there must be a string argument, not an int, just typecast your score variable into a string as in

text_file.write(str(score))

and go from there.

I think that this page could be a good starting point for you: http://www.python-excel.org/

It points to a number of different modules that should be able to do what you're asking for. (As long as I understood your question properly ;) )
