Question about DSST scoring - lbrad08 - 11-26-2009
On the DSST exams, how does the scoring work? On Intro to Law Enforcement you have to make a 45 to receive credit. Is each point equivalent to getting one question right. For Example, I've been taking the Free Peterson's exam and I made a 59%. does that mean my score would be equivalent to a 59 on the DSST exam? Do you only have to get 45 questions correct to pass?
Thanks for your help!

It has been mentioned here on the forum that a good rule of thumb is : if you can answer correctly a little bit more then half the questions on the actual DSST exam , you will pass.

I think how it works is how many you answer right and which ones you get right.

I believe that they newer tests (that you need a 400 to pass) score questions by difficulty, so you get more points for answering harder questions correctly. I don't know about the other ones.
