Answered Passing Score for MCAS

    I have been studying for my Excel MCAS exam for the past few months and have major test anxiety right now.  Could someone help with a question I don't know why I didn't ask sooner?

    Is there a set score you have to get on the Excel MCAS exam to pass?  If not, and it depends on the pool of scores, what is the average pass score is?  I know it's out of 1000 and that's about it.


    Thanks so much!!!

    Well if it's like any of the exams I've written then a passing grade is 700.

    That being said I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as to how any of the questions are weighted, etc.  So for the sake of easy math getting 7/10 doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get a score of 700 (could mean a 685 or a 745).

    Hope this helps

    I dont think you will find any "Microsoft" sites that say what the passing score is. Generaly it is 700. Total questions asked changes for every test. Some have more, some have less. Relax, breath, and go with your first choice. You can do it.
