April 2009 Mech PE exam

[chaocl]

I know that 56/80 is a passing score but what should be the lowest score to pass the PE exam?

49,50,51,52,53,54,55???? Or 56 is the lowest passing score?

56 is not necessarily the raw passing score. It changes every time. And every time they set the raw passing score equal to 70. It's a converted score. No one knows what the raw passing score is except for ncees and they're not telling. It varies from exam administration to administration and it's not the same for each discipline.

ncees told me that if you get 78 out of 80 correct you will have a 99.9999% chance of passing, but i deleted that email by mistake...

That's what worked for me. Glad I wasn't in that .0001% of unlucky ones.

56/80. Psh, y'all are some low expectation having people, you know that!
