Scoring a 10 is very uncommon on the APGAR test. Babies who score an 8 or 9 are typically in good health, while those scoring a 7 or lower may need medical assistance.

Where did Virginia Apgar make her discovery?
It wasn't a "discovery", it was a series of observations she codified into a 5 item scale. She developed the "Apgar Score" test in 1962.
How does the Apgar test score for color?
2 if the skin is pink all over; 1 for acrocyanosis, where the trunk and head are pink, but the arms and legs are blue; and 0 if the whole body is blue.
What are the normal results of an apgar test?
The maximum possible score is 10, the minimum is zero. It is rare to receive a true 10, as some acrocyanosis in the newborn is considered normal, and therefore not a cause for concern. Most infants score between 7 and 10.
Who devised a simple test to determine the health of newborns?

Why is the Apgar Score done twice?
Developed in 1952 by anesthesiologist, Virginia Apgar, , the APGAR Score checks the newborn's Activity level, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance, and Respiration at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth. At the moment of delivery, many newborns can often appear dusky or have a lower than normal APGAR. Usually, the low scores begin to come closer to normal by 5 minutes. A baby's skin color improves, for example, as the lungs fill with air and the baby's circulatory system takes over and normalizes. The test can be repeated if needed. A baby may be more listless because of sedation given to the mother, but with stimulation, the baby becomes more responsive. Obviously, a very low APGAR at 1 minute would mean doctors and nurses would be intervening and treating symptoms, as appropriate.
