Understand Global Score Calculation

💡 Why is my Global Score different from my simulation ending?
You might achieve a high score even with a Critical Mistake, or have a low score despite reaching Main Goal Achieved. To understand how these results relate and explore the different ways a simulation can conclude, visit the Understand Why the Simulation Ends page.

Your Global Score (ranging from 0–100%) in Body Interact is based on your clinical performance across three main areas, reflecting your overall effectiveness in a Simulation:

Score Composition

The Global Score is weighted across these components:

  • Communication – 20%
    Covers actions related to History Taking, Patient Education, and structured assessment techniques like SAMPLE or OPQRST.
  • Assessment – 40%
    Includes activities such as Physical Examination, Monitoring, and ordering Tests.
  • Management – 40%
    Involves Interventions, Medications, Prescriptions, and Calls.

How Actions Impact Your Score

The priority level of your actions directly affects your Global Score:

🟢 First-Priority Actions: Add points to your score.

🟠 Second-Priority Actions: Have a neutral effect, neither adding nor deducting points.

⚪ Non-Priority Actions: Lead to point deductions from your score. This penalty is cumulative, applied for each action taken.

  • -5% Performing Non-Priority Medications
  • -3% Performing Non-Priority Interventions
  • -2% Performing Non-Priority Medical Tests
  • -2% Performing Non-Priority Calls
  • -1% Performing Non-Priority Physical Examination
  • -1% Performing Non-Priority Dialogues

Critical Mistakes

Each critical mistake results in a 30% deduction from your Global Score. These deductions are cumulative, meaning multiple mistakes lead to multiple deductions.

Some examples of critical mistakes include:

  • Failing to prevent cardiac arrest.
  • Performing a high-risk action that endangers the patient.

In some scenarios, a critical mistake will immediately end the simulation.

General Penalties (Applied After Scenario Ends)

A 30% deduction is applied for an incorrect answer to the Summative Question.

In Consultation Scenarios

When a Consultation scenario involves multiple patient visits, penalties (such as critical mistakes) are divided equally among these visits. For example:

  • A 30% penalty across 3 visits results in a 10% deduction per visit.
  • A 30% penalty across 2 visits results in a 15% deduction per visit.
