How the line is worked out
- Where a state prints the number right, that number is the line.
- Where it prints a percentage, the line is the fewest questions that reach it: 75% of 50 questions is 37.5, so 38.
- Where it prints a scaled score, the line is shown at the same share of the scored questions, as an estimate.
- Only scored questions count. The unscored pretest questions are left out.

Do the extra unscored questions count?
No. Most exams add a few pretest questions that are not scored and are not marked as such. The counts here are the scored questions only, so answer every question as if it counts.
What does a scaled passing score mean?
Some states report a score from 0 to 100 and set the pass at a scaled 70 or 75. The number of questions behind it can move a little from one version of the exam to the next, so for those states the number right shown here is an estimate at the same share.
