This is awkward too, but have a look:

initialize[] := (
   names = {"apple", "bob", "cat", "dog", "ear", "frog", "greg",
     "hippo", "i9", "joe"};
   Clear[called, score, percent];
   called[_] = 0;
   score[_] = 0;
   percent[any_] :=
    Quiet@AccountingForm[100. score[any]/called[any], 3];
   )

initialize[]
repeat = True;
While[repeat,
  n = RandomInteger[{1, Length@names}];
  name = names[[n]];
  called[name]++;
  Input["Was the answer correct?",
   SetterBar[Dynamic[result], {1 -> "correct", 0 -> "incorrect"}]];
  score[name] += result;
  Input["Continue?",
   SetterBar[Dynamic[repeat], {True -> "Go on", False -> "Stop"}]]
  ]
Grid[
    Table[Through[{Identity, called, score, percent}@name], {name,
      names}] /. Indeterminate -> "No scores"]
