 ## Interpret an Advisor score
 
 Advisor displays your overall Advisor score and a breakdown for Advisor categories, in percentages. A score of 100% in any category means all your resources assessed by Advisor follow the best practices that Advisor recommends. On the other end of the spectrum, a score of 0% means that none of your resources assessed by Advisor follow Advisor's recommendations. Using these score grains, you can easily achieve the following flow:
 
 * **Advisor score** helps you baseline how your workload or subscriptions are doing based on an Advisor score. You can also see the historical trends to understand what your trend is.
-* **Score by category** for each recommendation tells you which outstanding recommendations will improve your score the most. These values reflect both the weight of the recommendation and the predicted ease of implementation. These factors help to make sure you can get the most value with your time. They also help you with prioritization.

They also help you with prioritization.
 * **Category score impact** for each recommendation helps you prioritize your remediation actions for each category.
 
 The contribution of each recommendation to your category score is shown clearly on the **Advisor score** page in the Azure portal. You can increase each category score by the percentage point listed in the **Potential score increase** column. This value reflects both the weight of the recommendation within the category and the predicted ease of implementation to address the potentially easiest tasks. Focusing on the recommendations with the greatest score impact will help you make the most progress with time.

 ## How is an Advisor score calculated?
 
 Advisor displays your category scores and your overall Advisor score as percentages. A score of 100% in any category means all your resources, *assessed by Advisor*, follow the best practices that Advisor recommends. On the other end of the spectrum, a score of 0% means that none of your resources, assessed by Advisor, follows Advisor recommendations.
 
-**Each of the five categories has a highest potential score of 100.** Your overall Advisor score is calculated as a sum of each applicable category score, divided by the sum of the highest potential score from all applicable categories. For most subscriptions, that means Advisor adds up the score from each category and divides by 500. But *each category score is calculated only if you use resources that are assessed by Advisor*.
+**Each of the five categories has a highest potential score of 100.** Your overall Advisor score is calculated as a sum of each applicable category score, divided by the sum of the highest potential score from all applicable categories. In most cases this means adding up five Advisor scores for each category and dividing by 500. But *each category score is calculated only if you use resources that are assessed by Advisor*.
 
 ### Advisor score calculation example
 
 * **Single subscription score:** This example is the simple mean of all Advisor category scores for your subscription. If the Advisor category scores are - **Cost** = 73, **Reliability** = 85, **Operational excellence** = 77, and **Performance** = 100, the Advisor score would be (73 + 85 + 77 + 100)/(4x100) = 0.84% or 84%.
-* **Multiple subscriptions score:** When multiple subscriptions are selected, the overall Advisor scores generated are weighted aggregate category scores. Here, each Advisor category score is aggregated based on resources consumed by subscriptions. After Advisor has the weighted aggregated category scores, Advisor does a simple mean calculation to give you an overall score for subscriptions.
+* **Multiple subscriptions score:** When multiple subscriptions are selected, the overall Advisor score is calculated as an average of aggregated category scores. Each category score is calculated using individual subscription score and subscription consumsumption based weight. Overall score is calculated as sum of aggregated category scores divided by the sum of the highest potential scores.
 
 ### Scoring methodology

 1. Advisor calculates the *retail cost of impacted resources*. These resources are the ones in your subscriptions that have at least one recommendation in Advisor.
 1. Advisor calculates the *retail cost of assessed resources*. These resources are the ones monitored by Advisor, whether they have any recommendations or not.
 1. For each recommendation type, Advisor calculates the *healthy resource ratio*. This ratio is the retail cost of impacted resources divided by the retail cost of assessed resources.

-## Advisor score FAQs
+## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 
 ### How often is my score refreshed?
 
 Your score is refreshed at least once per day.
 
+### Why did my score change?
+
+Your score can change if you remediate impacted resources by adopting the best practices that Advisor recommends. If you or anyone with permissions on your subscription has modified or created new resources, you might also see fluctuations in your score. Your score is based on a ratio of the cost-impacted resources relative to the total cost of all resources.
+
+### I implemented a recommendation but my score did not change. Why the score did not increase?
+
+The score does not reflect adopted recommendations right away. It takes at least 24 hours for the score to change after the recommendation is remediated. 
+
 ### Why do some recommendations have the empty "-" value in the category score impact column?
 
 Advisor doesn't immediately include new recommendations or recommendations with recent changes in the scoring model. After a short evaluation period, typically a few weeks, they're included in the score.
 
-### Why is the Cost score impact greater for some recommendations even if they have lower potential savings?
+### Why is the cost score impact greater for some recommendations even if they have lower potential savings?
 
-Your **Cost** score reflects both your potential savings from underutilized resources and the predicted ease of implementing those recommendations. For example, extra weight is applied to impacted resources that have been idle for a longer time, even if the potential savings is lower.

-### Why don't I have a score for one or more categories or subscriptions?
+### What does it mean when I see "Coming soon" in the score impact column?
 
-Advisor generates a score only for the categories and subscriptions that have resources that are assessed by Advisor.
+This message means that the recommendation is new, and we're working on bringing it to the Advisor score model. After this new recommendation is considered in a score calculation, you'll see the score impact value for your recommendation.
 
 ### What if a recommendation isn't relevant?
 
-If you dismiss a recommendation from Advisor, it will be omitted from the calculation of your score. Dismissing recommendations also helps Advisor improve the quality of recommendations.
+If you dismiss a recommendation from Advisor, it is excluded from the calculation of your score. Dismissing recommendations also helps Advisor improve the quality of recommendations.

 The scoring methodology is designed to control for the number of resources on a subscription and service mix. Subscriptions with fewer resources can have higher or lower scores than subscriptions with more resources.

 ### Does my score depend on how much I spend on Azure?
 
 No. Your score isn't necessarily a reflection of how much you spend. Unnecessary spending will result in a lower **Cost** score.
