Exams are scaled, based on their respective difficulty, to scores ranging from 0 to 500 to maintain uniformity and consistency regardless of the number of items present on your particular test form. You need a 360 to pass, but note that, because of statistical equating, a scaled score of 360 does not necessarily convert to a 72%.
