Therefore, if a candidate answered 75% of the questions correctly, he or she would pass the exam.

In providing scores to candidates, the raw score is converted to a scaled score, with a scaled score of 600 being set equal to the 75% passing mark. Based on this scaling, a candidate who
answered less than 75% of the exam questions correctly would achieve a scaled score below 600, and a candidate who answered 75% or more of the exam questions correctly would
achieve a scaled score of 600 or higher, with results listed as “PASSED.
