I just wondered how the new NAPLEX is scored after November? Is a percentage score now or still a percentile?

I just wondered how the new NAPLEX is scored after November? Is a percentage score now or still a percentile? With 250 questions, what is the full score ? what is the minimum questions have to be right in order to pass? Please share your though or educated guess. Thanks.

It is never a percentage. It can't be a percentile because too many people would fail and it is not curved.
According to wikipedia it is generally 60% of questions right but that is not official.
It also depends on whether you get easy or hard questions which is weighed differently.

Written in the current Naplex MPJE bulletin: "The passing scaled score for NAPLEX is 75. The minimum scaled score you can earn is zero and the maximum is 150."

Thank you very much! The NAPLEX score is a scaled score.

The new Naplex has 250 questions. But total scaled score is calculated as 150, the passing scaled score for NAPLEX is 75 which means some questions worth more points than the others. For example, some questions may worth 1/2 points, some may worth 1 points and 2 points. More points could be select all that apply questions and math questions.
