Does the PAT (in CDR) give equal weight to all questions? I assumed this was the case. 90 questions, possible score of 30, each question is worth .3333333333, etc.
I just took a random test, got a 21 score, 76 correct. But if you do the math yourself, that comes out to something like a 25. (76 * .333333333333) Unless the thing gives more weight to certain sections, the scoring must be buggy.
Edit: I just happened to look over the raw score to standard score conversion chart at the end of the ADA free practice test. It appears they have some kind of absurd scale in use which actually matches how CDR scores you. When I say absurd I mean, if you get 1 wrong (90 -> 89), your standard score goes from 30-29. And it continues like this for the first 5 wrong or so I think. I have no idea why they're ****ing us over like this, but apparently it's the way it works! >_<
