rating / score
The result of an evaluation, especially in competitions, often expressed in points or grades.
Die Turnerin erhielt vom Kampfgericht eine sehr hohe Wertung.
The gymnast received a very high score from the judges.
'Die Wertung' (the rating/evaluation) is a noun derived from the verb 'werten' (to evaluate, to assess). The ending '-ung' turns the verb into a feminine noun that describes the process or result of evaluating.
Die Jury nimmt jetzt die Wertung der Kandidaten vor.
The jury is now evaluating the candidates.
The context makes clear which meaning is intended. If it is about sports, art, or competitions with points, it means the grade or score. In discussions about politics, society, or ethics, it refers to a moral or ideological judgment.
Der Eiskunstläufer wartete gespannt auf die Wertung.
The figure skater waited anxiously for the score.
In the context of competitions, 'Wertung' is often combined with certain verbs: 'eine Wertung erhalten/bekommen' (to receive a rating/score), 'eine Wertung abgeben' (to give a rating), or 'in die Wertung einfließen' (to be included in the scoring).
Nur die besten drei Sprünge kommen in die Wertung.
Only the best three jumps count toward the score.
When it is about a judgment, 'Wertung' is often accompanied by adjectives that describe the type of judgment. Common ones are: 'eine positive/negative Wertung' (a positive/negative evaluation), 'eine moralische Wertung' (a moral judgment), or 'eine subjektive/objektive Wertung' (a subjective/objective evaluation).
Sein Kommentar war keine Beschreibung, sondern eine negative Wertung meiner Arbeit.
His comment was not a description, but a negative judgment of my work.
judgment / verdict
'das Urteil' and 'die Wertung' both have to do with judging or evaluating. An 'Urteil' is a personal assessment or opinion about a person, thing, or situation. 'Wertung' puts more emphasis on something being evaluated according to a standard, for example with points, grades, or moral and political criteria. The words can be confused because both express an evaluation. 'Urteil' often sounds more general and personal. 'Wertung' fits better when the result of an evaluation or a specific value standard is important.

The jury's score determines which team wins the competition.
