FAQ
How do I interpret my PCL-5 score?
Each of the 20 items is rated 0 to 4, giving a total of 0–80. Higher totals mean stronger trauma-related reactions. You also get four cluster scores — intrusions, avoidance, negative thoughts and mood, and hyperarousal — so you can see which reactions stand out.
At what score should I see a professional?
Research commonly uses a total of about 31–33 or higher as a cutoff suggesting further evaluation. But even a lower score deserves attention: if sleep, work, or relationships are clearly affected, or if you have thoughts of self-harm, reach out to a mental health professional regardless of the number.
Can this self-test diagnose PTSD?
No. The PCL-5 is a screening tool that puts your current state into numbers. A PTSD diagnosis requires a clinical interview that considers the traumatic event itself, whether symptoms have lasted more than a month, and other possible explanations.
How often should I retake it?
Every 2–4 weeks is a reasonable interval for tracking change; daily retesting mostly reflects how that particular day went. If you are in therapy, recording it about once a month and comparing your total and cluster scores over time gives a clearer picture of recovery.
