DAT Scoring System

Hi. I was wondering how the DAT scoring system works.

If you get 85/90 questions correct for the PAT which converts to a 25 according to the tables is that the mark you receive or is it standardized based on other people's scores?
So is it possible to get a higher or lower score like a 23 or 27 based on how other people did?
If everyone did very well does that mean it could go down very low even tho you got only 5 questions wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Every test has a different scoring system.

85/90 can mean 25 on one test, and 27 on another, and 23 on another etc.

It's standardized based on how others perform.

But if u get 85/90 on the PAT test, you're in good shape.
