[Reporting and Performance](http://info.boardvitals.com/knowledge/boardvitals-for-institutions?hsLang=en#reporting-and-performance) # How are scores on the Performance tab calculated? The Performance tab, which can be found on the left-hand side of your screen, is the place to go to monitor your performance and progress on your exams. This tab shows the percentage of questions you have answered correctly out of questions attempted, the number of questions that you have answered correctly in a subject, the number of questions you have answered incorrectly in a subject, and the number of questions that have not yet been answered within a subject.  Your question bank score is determined not by your practice exam scores, but by your accuracy rate across each subject in your question bank. Your Performance page displays your score for each of the subjects in your question bank, and the Overall score displays an average of your subject scores. This method of analyzing scores by subject allows you to break down your strengths and weaknesses by content area so that you can study more efficiently and effectively. ![New Performance Tab](https://info.boardvitals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20Performance%20Tab.png?width=688&name=New%20Performance%20Tab.png) Each question bank will appear as its own table in your Performance tab, with the subjects for which you have answered questions displaying as individual rows. If there is a subject you have not yet begun, the subject name will not appear in your Performance table, nor will questions from the subject be included in "OVERALL" calculations. **Student Score**: Percentage of questions you have answered correctly out of questions attempted **Correct: **The number of questions that a user has answered correctly in a subject **Incorrect: **The number of questions that a user has answered incorrectly in a subject **Unanswered: **The number of questions that a user has not yet answered within a subject **Questions Remaining**: Number of unique questions left to answer in the subjects you have begun -
