dantes grading

[RBOWMAN]

hi Upgray,

In GENERAL, answering more than half the questions correctly would mean a passing score.

However, the DANTES exams are scaled and so the actual number of questions you need to answer correctly to pass varies between each exam, and even between different variations of the same exam.

Also, some questions on each exam are test runs of questions for future exams, and therefore are not counted towards your final score.

55 out of 106, GENERALLY would likely be a pass. But it is impossible to know for sure.

Having said that, unless you KNOW for certain that you answered ALL the remaining questions INCORRECTLY, then the chances are that you also picked up more than a few additional points from the other 51 questions.

Statistically, even if you randomly guessed at the remaining 51 questions, you might expect to pick up 1 in 4. That would be approximately 12 more points.

55 + 12 = 67 out of 106...that is well into what we would expect to be the passing range!

Tentatively, you probably should anticipate a passing score. But only the official score report in your hand will confirm it!

Now begins the awful waiting game. Everybody hates it!

Most people feel uncertain when they leave the testing center after taking a DANTES exam. More often than not, their score report is better than they expect. So don't get caught up in trying to calculate your exact score, okay? That's a fool's game with these scaled score exams.

Just wait and see.

Best of luck,
