How it's used
Focuses specifically on the numerical result achieved in a competition or test. While it functions as a noun, it is frequently used with the verb 攞 to describe the act of achieving a score. It sounds more formal than just saying 分數 and is typically reserved for structured evaluation contexts.

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a verb to mean 'to score points' in a game, as it is strictly a noun. Use 攞分 or 拎分 instead when you want to describe the action of gaining points.
