best score

Highest musical achievement

Best score is the highest or most favorable result achieved in a game, competition, or measured activity.

In video games and sports, it often means a personal record: My best score on that level is 47,000 points.

Context determines whether higher or lower numbers are better—in golf, a best score is the lowest: Her best score on that course is 68.
