Raw Score Calculation

[hogfan1]

Ok guys. You will like this. I have a spreadsheet that tells me how many questions you missed and your score. This only applies if you have received your sheet with % score in each area.

This seems pretty accurate to me.

Scott, will you please share your breakdown from your diagnostic report and I can tell you how many questions you missed. Unfortunately, this is only for STR 1 exam.

This is how this looks like, it is in excel, not sure how to post it...

Scottsei, you missed by two questions per this analysis. Your raw score was 58% and your scaled score was 67%. This spreadsheet was put together by someone a couple years ago and may be subject to speculation, but it gives you a good idea I think. If you have an email address, I can email the excel spreadsheet with the breakdown.

That's pretty much what I thought but I wonder how acurate that really is though.

From the approximated calculation that means scott got nearly 47 out of 80 correct. If you said he needed a couple of more correct to pass does that mean the cut was around 50 or am I confused?

Thanks for the spreadsheet. That's a good thing to see. Passing is such a fine line.
