How To Determine Glasgow Coma Scale?

I am researching the Glasgow coma scale. After my son s TBI, he was asked questions like his age ( which he responded wrong to on 2-3 occasions), the day of week, where he was(city) etc. However, when I see info for GCS, it seems that there are different parameters for developing a score?

Hi ,your son is not responding correctly to questions verbal response is V4.

GCS score is calculated based on Eye response ,Motor response and verbal
response.Total score is 15/15.

It is for assessing the level of conciousness. Thanks
