The score for the sit and reach flexibility test is typically obtained by measuring the distance reached by the individual. Here are the steps:

1. The individual sits on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead. Shoes should be removed. The soles of the feet are placed flat against the box.

2. Both knees should be locked and pressed flat to the floor - the tester may assist by holding them down.

3. With the palms facing downwards, and the hands on top of each other or side by side, the individual reaches forward along the measuring line as far as possible.

4. Ensure the hands remain at the same level, not one reaching further forward than the other. Individuals are allowed to push the ruler forward if the hands reach past the feet.

5. After some practice reaches, the subject reaches out and holds that position for at least one-two seconds while the distance is recorded.

6. The score is recorded to the nearest centimeter or half inch as the distance reached by the hand.

The scoring method can vary based on the specific instructions of the test. For example, some tests may consider the score as the number of inches reached to the nearest one-half inch in two trials. Others may consider a touch before the line as a negative score and a touch after the line as a positive score. Some tests may consider the score as the most distant point reached on the fourth trial, measured to the nearest 1/4 inch. Others may consider the best of three lifts as the score.
