I'm stuck in at least three spots, for a DMV license test program. Can someone take a look and give me some pointers?

Question

I have hashtagged the three areas that I think I need help in but I may be wrong in some other areas. I had most things working but needed to add third txt file(DMV.txt) according to the projects instructions. So, I modified some things, in order to be complying with the projects requirements. The original way I had it, was only giving me Incorrect results, and Johns answers aren't lining up under Johns answers. Anywho, someone please take a look please and point me in the right direction, please.

def main():
    submitted = ['A','D','C','A','C','A','D','C','A','D','A','C','B','D','A','C','C','A','D','B']
    correct = ['1.  B', '2.  D', '3.  A', '4.  A', '5.  C', '6.  A', '7.  B', '8.  A', '9.  C', '10. D', '11. B', '12. C', '13. D', '14. A', '15. D', '16. C', '17. C', '18. B', '19. D', '20. A']
    correct_count = 0
    incorrect_count = 0
    results = getResults(submitted, correct)


def getResults(submitted, correct):
    correct_count = 0
    incorect_count = 0
    while submitted == correct:
      print ('Total Correct: ')
    elif submitted != correct
      print ('Total Incorrect: ')
    for score in  #***I'm stuck for what to put here(how to word it correctly),or if this is even how I should write it.


def writeToFile(submitted):
    submitted = ['A','D','C','A','C','A','D','C','A','D','A','C','B','D','A','C','C','A','D','B']
    outfile  = open('johns_answers.txt', 'w')
    for item in submitted:
      outfile.write(item + '\n')
    outfile.close()
    infile = open('johns_answers.txt', 'r')
    submitted = infile.readlines()
    infile.close()
    sub_count = 0
    while sub_count < len(submitted):
      submitted[sub_count] = submitted[sub_count].rstrip('\n')
      sub_count += 1
    print ('The answers you submitted were: ', submitted)
    print ('******************************************************************************************')

def writeToFile(correct):
    correct = ['1.  B', '2.  D', '3.  A', '4.  A', '5.  C', '6.  A', '7.  B', '8.  A', '9.  C', '10. D', '11. B', '12. C', '13. D', '14. A', '15. D', '16. C', '17. C', '18. B', '19. D', '20. A']

    infile.close()
    correct_count = 0
    while correct_count < len(correct):
      correct[correct_count] = correct[correct_count].rstrip('\n')
      correct_count += 1
    print ('The correct answers are: ', correct)
    print ('******************************************************************************************')

def writeToFile(results)
    correct_count = 0
    incorrect_count = 0
    outfile = open('DMV.txt','w')
    print ('  Correct DMV answers     Johns answers')
    print ('Answer          Correct/Incorrect')
    for answer, correct in zip(submitted, correct):
            outfile.write(item+ '\n')
            outfile.close()
        infile = open('DMV.txt', 'r')
        getResults = infile.readlines()#I'm also stuck here, I'm nor sure that this is how this should be worded.
        infile.close()
        if answer == correct:#I'm not sure if I really need this here, with the def getResults section added above(I had this here originally but I've made some modifications, plus I think it's incorrectly
                             #wrote anyway, I was only getting incorrect results).
            correct_count += 1
            print (correct, answer ,'                             = Correct')
        else:
            answer != correct
            incorrect_count += 1
            print (correct, answer ,'                             = Incorrect')
