The passing score

240 on each subtest.

Scaled or raw, this is the official standard: plan to clear it with a margin, because exam forms differ in difficulty.

How to use this to plan your preparation

  1. Check your starting point by area. Take a mixed set of questions and look at your results per content area, not just the total. The real exam has 119 questions, so practise in blocks that match its pace.
  2. Work the weakest area first, in short sessions, and read every explanation, including the questions you got right.
  3. Finish with full timed practice that matches the official time (4 hours of testing for one or both subtests at a test center (online: 3 hours per subtest)), so the length of the exam is not a surprise on test day.

You must pass both subtests; a passing subtest can be banked until you pass the other.
