Since the converted score I was given isn in terms of real points on the exam, how do I know how many more questions needed to be answered correctly to pass?
A. NCEES believes that it is more meaningful to let candidates know which were their weak and strong subject areas so they can focus their studies for the next exam. We are doing this by issuing a diagnostic report for each failing candidate. As a rule of thumb, there is usually a close relation between the raw scores and the converted scores. If a candidate receives a scaled score of 68 it probably means they missed by two points. However, we don’t believe this information is as useful as the diagnostic report.
