Please don't plagiarise (2) or self-plagiarise (1) when submitting work via TurnItIn. (1) Don't retake a unit and reuse the same report as the year before (especially when not attending). (2) Don't blatantly share/copy/lend text to another student.
Turnitin is not a plagiarism checker, it only checks for textual similarities between your submission and existing work. It's quite possible to have a high score like that if you added stuff like the problem statements or questions in your lab report.
I recently got a Turnitin license and wondered if I could check my report before submitting it. However, I came to the conclusion that if I were to check it with Turnitin, won't my report be stored in the Turnitin database.
Hi, I submitted a final essay for a course and the professor told me that Turnitin gave it a 23% AI generated score. I tried to explain him that I didn’t use any AI. Since grading period was quite short, he gave me an alright sort of grade yet asked me to rewrite it.
Remember, Turnitin counts anything in your work which matches another source as unoriginal: so, e.g., if you have used a quotation – in quote marks and correctly attributed – this will be counted as unoriginal material.
Instead of pushing your material through 3rd party checkers, you could have students submit outlines, then draft, then final. Depending on class, you could also have peer-review of materials (meaning other students read each others work, and comment on them).

I think Grammarly has one available for free. TurnItIn just tells me (a prof) if any text is the same or similar to anything else that exists in their databases or online. I still have to go and see if what is the same/similar is cited. As long as you are citing everything, you should be fine.
