The scores are on a 20 to 80 scale (an 80 would be equivalent to 100%). It doesn't matter how many questions are on the test... the passing scores are usually right around 50 (but this is totally dependent on your school. Your school may require a 55 on a test that my school requires a 50). However, think about it.... if 20 is the lowest score, and 80 is the highest... 50 is exactly the middle, right? So that means that 50 is equal to 50%... and yes, that's the score that is usually required to pass for most schools. Most likely, your school publishes every test that they accept and the required score to pass.
