To calculate the patient's GCS, you need to add together the scores from eye opening, verbal response and motor response.
Added together, these give you an overall score out of the maximum of 15.

It’s a quick, objective tool across three categories:Eye Opening (E)Verbal Response (V)Motor Response (M)
Total score: 3 (lowest) to 15 (best)
Mnemonic: “Eyes 4, Verbal 5, Motor 6”Each section maxes at 4, 5, and 6 respectively
Total = E + V + M (3 to 15)
