qualifying score
Entry point number
A qualifying score is the minimum score required to advance, gain entry, or meet a standard.
In competitions, it determines who proceeds to the next round: She needed a qualifying score of 85 to make the finals.
In standardized testing, it establishes eligibility for programs or certifications.
The threshold varies by context—what qualifies in one setting may not in another.
