The NPTE is a calculated scaled score with a cut off score set. The cut off score varies from test to test depending on the difficulty level and how the testing pool performed. A 600 is considered the lowest score to be deemed entry level. So if you scored 150/200 or a 75% and the cut off score is 72% then you would expect to receive a score of anywhere between 630-650 which would be PASS.
