Question about scores on Dantes

[nitai]

I am going to take my first DANTES and am confused about the scoring. I see that people get 49 and pass...is that out of 100? Or is the scoring different?

Thanks in advance

[SIZE="2"]No, not out of a hundred but rather a percentile score. However, it can be generally assessed that if you answer more than half of the total questions on your exam correctly you should receive a passing "percentile" score.[/SIZE]

Now I understand.
