Passing Grade. If you want to know how many questions you got right on your PE exam, here is what you have to do:
After you get your results from your board, multiply percentage of the correct problems from your diagnostic report by the number of questions for your topic. After you get number of correct problems for the morning and afternoon, add them and divide by 80, so you can see total percentage you got in the exam. Share it here, so we can find out passing grade. Numbers below are based on the assumption of 2.5% per problem.
