How is dressage scored?

Individual dressage tests and quadrilles are scored using a numerical system from 0 through 10. Scores in the 5-8 range are most frequently seen. Scores higher than 9 or lower than 4 are seldom given. Each individual movement is scored using the numerical system, and some are given coefficients, which multiply the numerical score by two or three. Overall impressions are scored in the section entitled “Collective Marks.” The number of points possible is divided the number of points received, yielding a percentage that is used to rank the horse & rider combinations in the class.
