Is the old scoring the number right out of 100? I'm looking at taking the HR management and I got a 67 on the peterson's. Just trying to figure out my wiggle room.

Thanks

I think it was also out of 80.

And then the next question is what system of scoring does Peterson use? Are they providing you with a percentage, a raw score, or a scaled score?

Yes the range was 20-80 they weighed questions differently. They used to have a page somewhere on their website that explained it. As far as most of us here 60 or above is a good indicater you are ready for the real thing

Thanks, i know they have a chart for the new 400 scores but didn't find anything definitive on the older score. I need a 46 according to TESC. I'm going to review my wrong answers on peterson's and just wing it. I've done no study but think I have enough real world experience to pass it.
