The percentage of questions do you have to get right on DSST exams to pass? - soliloquy - 05-17-2014
I started to pose the threat title as a question and then tried to change it to a statement and hit submit before I realized what I did. I'm sure this is posted here somewhere but I couldn't find it. Sorry for the confusing title.

I'm pretty sure I saw in another publication from DSST that they no longer do the norm referenced grading. Ill have to try and find it again.

They changed their scoring procedure when they began refreshing their exams. I believe they have posted the percentage for those exams, but I do not believe anything is posted for the old exams.
