In sexology, jargon for customers of hustlers or pimps.
In educational testing, a grade or mark indicating the number of correct answers or the number of points awarded for acceptable work. On many objective tests, especially standardized tests, the raw score is the actual number of correct answers. Often, however, this is converted into a different kind of score for reporting purposes, such as a percentile, grade- equivalent, or age-equivalent (educational age). These concerted scores (sometimes called scaled scores) attempt to put the raw score into comparative perspective with large numbers of other students who have taken the test. In the case of admissions tests, students are sometimes required to score above a certain point, called a cutoff score. Scores derived from the results of two or more tests are called composite scores.
A rating tool or scale to assess the level of health or the severity of an illness.
To make narrow incisions in a cross-hatch pattern, such as across the exterior of a roast or ham.
