Passing score on exam

Published

I wanted to know if anyone knew what the passing grade is on the written part of the cna exam? I haven't started class yet, so I took a practice test to see how I'd do it was 60 questions and I got 56 right. Would this be a passing grade?

It said the same thing on the skills paper as well. I think that if you fail though, it will tell you what you missed on the test. I'm not sure if they put the score on there though. (I only got a glimpse of someone's paper who had failed & didn't want to appear nosy!)

In texas its 80%. When I took my test they didn't even tell me what I made on the written they just said pass and gave me a yellow sheet that just says pass. On the Skills thats a different story. Its 4 out of 5 skills right.
