CPA says 75 is not the % correct, what do you think it is equivalent to in terms of % correct

    I think it depends. It seems to me as if each question has a predetermined point value. If you're lucky enough to get the questions right that are assigned a higher point value the % would be lower than if you missed a 2 point question but got two 1 point questions correct if that makes any sense. So a 75 could be either 60% of questions correct or 80% of questions correct.

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75

    Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

    My guess is that if 10 test takers all got 75% of the questions correct, most would end up passing. Those who wouldn't would have grabbed a high concentration of the 1 point questions and not many 2 point questions. So basically I would bet on 75% passing most times

    Audit(11/5/13) - 89
    Reg(5/16/14) - 86
    FAR(7/18/14) - 82
    BEC(11/14) - 85

    My test scores were ALL around 10% higher than my studying mcq average; therfore, I'd say 65% of questions correct will get you around a 75 composite score.

    i guess the actual percentage is closer to 60 but all depends on the weighting of each question. i personally feel i got less than 75% correct on any of the exams i took
