Depends on how you want it. You could just store the points into variables and check the old high score with the new. Then replace the old with the new. Check out this little test I did. Notice at the end the scores come up. Is it something like that you want? TEST HERE (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85668)

Np, this is a very simple thing to do. Make a variable like score = 0. You just have it so everytime you do something (answer question correctly, kill a enemy, or whatever it is you want it to do) it adds to the variable. Example score += whatever. Then at the end when you want it to show you just make a dynamic text field and give it a var name. I suggest keeping it close to the name of the variable going into it. So call if the variable is score name it Score. Then use a script on the frame Score = score. If you want it to test to see if it is higher than the last score just use something like
if(score > highscore){
highscore = score
Score = highscore
}else{
Score = highscore
}
You get it? If not let me know and I will explain in deeper details.;)
