Just starting to prep... Just curious, do they look at % on the test because looking at these forums it seems to vary. For example, how does a 240/99 compare with a 240/96 etc. as far as awesomeness?
The two digit score is neither a percent or percentile. Also, 240 will always be a 99 as of late.Just starting to prep... Just curious, do they look at % on the test because looking at these forums it seems to vary. For example, how does a 240/99 compare with a 240/96 etc. as far as awesomeness?

the exam is 322 MC questions: 7 blocks of 46 questions.
Is the scoring generally 1 point per question? if that's the case then a score of 240 equates to 82 mistakes.. right?
82 mistakes over 7 blocks is about 11 mistakes per block.
I don't know how it's scored but that can't be right.
I bet a 240 is closer to 3 to 5 mistakes per block.
Anyone know?
From what I've read on here it's just like the MCAT - it's a bell curve.
The difference between a 277 and a 255 may be 5 questions, whereas the difference between a 195 and a 200 may be 15 questions. (Completely fabricated example to show the main point)
That certainly makes the most sense to me.
