Hi.
I've become pretty frustrated that NCEES doesn't provide any guidance at how many questions you need to get right to pass the EE Power exam. I understand that the exact score changes every year and with every test, and NCEES doesn't want to get tied into a number. But it would be really helpful to know if I need to get about 50% right versus 90% right. Until today I had NO idea approximately how many I needed.
I stumbled across this helpful conversation on the site:
http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=16047
It lists failing scores for all the different types of tests. Unfortunately there are only 3 power scores listed, 45, 47, 46. So I need at least 47 to pass (59%). Has anyone else found ANY information about what the cutoff score tends to be? I didn't find any recent conversations on this board about the subject. Thanks for any insight.
