Thank you for re-posting the DSST technical sheet (I had misplaced it after another forum member posted it about a month ago).
I can see how my post can be mis-interpreted. I know that each exam score scales differently, I was merely pointing out that this time around the Peterson's exam was most likely easier than the actual test (in comparison with other Peterson's tests where getting so many correct answers correlates to a much higher score on the actual exam).
To give an example here, take Organizational Behavior as a comparison. I was getting 75% on Peterson's whereas I got a 70 on the actual exam. Here I had gotten a somewhat lower percentage on Peterson's but somewhat significantly higher scaled score.
If you take into consideration the number of questions on both exams and their respective standard deviations you can surely expect a difference in scaled scoring, but in my case the difference is much higher than expected.
