==================
We created an assessment that is comprised of three sections.
I am able to create a page/question to summarize the assessment report and incorporate scoring by referencing  {PERC}.  This can only be done in the message of the assessment scoring section. 

What i am having problems with is creating an equation for the purposes of calculating the group scores which has a single question (array).  I created a separate question (equation) in the same group in order to calculate the Score.  all it get are 0 and no calculations are done. 

I am able to insert {ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL}  into the email templates as well as the summary question page.  

Again the only issue i have is with the logic /first principles methods required to generate the score for each group. 
 

This is the usual behaviour.
Assessments are not stored in the database, except "current_total".

You have to use ExpressionScript. In my opinion  these "assessment rules" are outdated since Expression Manager/Script was implemented.
You still may use the "assessment values", which you access by the property ".value" resp. ".valueNAOK"

I wonder why you did not answer the initial questions

Thanks Joffm, i know that the assessment doesnt store the values in the db. That is why i created another question that is a equation in order to store db and then be able to reference it.
The issue that i am having is that i have tried all syntax for the EM but have not been able to get it to function. What is the proper syntax for obtaining the total score for the question (array). More importantly is there something else that i am missing aside from creating another question (equation)

What are you doing now?

And the score of an array?
Do you want yo use the assessment values or the codes of the answer options?

Either{sum(that.Q1.NAOK)}
or
{sum(that.Q1.valueNAOK)}
