Meaning

评分 means to assign a score or rating to something, or the score/rating itself. It's commonly used in educational contexts for grading exams and assignments, as well as in everyday life for rating movies, restaurants, products, and services.

Usage

Native speakers use 评分 in both formal and informal contexts. It's very common on review platforms, in schools, and when discussing quality assessments. Often paired with numbers or rating systems (e.g., 五星评分 'five-star rating'). Can function as both a verb (to rate/grade) and a noun (the rating/score).
