I don't believe this is right because if it is then my OAT was scored incorrectly... soooo how is the OAT scored?

Members don't see this ad.
 
The OAT is scored soley on the number of questions correct. The percentages provided are for the takers personal information to compare himself/herself to the rest of the OAT takers.

I took the test a year ago and recently signed up to take the test again and found out they made the test EASIER... I'm one happy camper.

they took ten questions off the reading comprehension section and shortened the paragraphs... and they took ten questions off the quantitative reasoning section.

YES... this makes me feel much better about the test now.

Those were the two sections I thought I should have done much better on... and now I have the chance.
 
Your score is what it is. You took the test on a computer not the old scantron, there isn't likely a mistake. You either suck or didn't prepare hard/long enough
