The question
Each Section 608 certification test includes how many Core questions, and what is the passing score for a closed-book section?
- 25 questions; 70 percentCorrect answer
- 50 questions; 70 percent
- 25 questions; 84 percent
- 20 questions; 75 percent
Why “25 questions; 70 percent” is correct
Appendix D to Subpart F requires 25 questions from the Core group plus 25 from each technical group being tested. The passing score for closed-book tests is 70 percent; mail-in Type I tests need 84 percent.
Source: 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F, Appendix D
Why the other answers are wrong
- 50 questions; 70 percent — Core has 25 questions, not 50.
- 25 questions; 84 percent — 84 percent applies only to the mail-in Type I test.
- 20 questions; 75 percent — Neither 20 questions nor 75 percent appears in the test standards.
