Does Lever score my resume?

No public Lever job-seeker score formula was found. The public evidence supports parser extraction into profiles, not a universal score.

Should I upload PDF or DOCX to Lever?

Use whichever the employer portal requests. If both are accepted, choose a text-layer PDF or DOCX with simple structure and verify the parsed fields when possible.
