test score

How you did

A test score is the numerical or letter result assigned to a performance on an exam or assessment.

Scores may be raw (number correct), scaled, or converted to percentiles.

In education, test scores drive decisions about placement, graduation, and college admission: Her test scores qualified her for the honors program.

The term often appears in debates about standardized testing and what scores actually measure.
