The final number, 37, is the client’s score on the scale (in this case, the GCS or depression scale) developed to range from 0 to 100. Interpretation. On all scales of the WAS, the higher the score, the greater the magnitude of the problem. How high does a score have to be to indicate a significant problem, though? Most of the WAS scales have a “clinical cutting point” or “cutoff score” of approximately 30 (Hudson, 1997).
