Total marks required to pass the assessment

Total marks required to pass the assessment

• A. 20 marks
• B. 18 marks
• C. 15 marks
• D. 25 marks

Answer: (B)

Passing an assessment is determined by meeting a minimum percentage of the total marks. A common standard is 60%. If the assessment is worth 30 marks, 60% of 30 equals 18 marks, so the smallest score that counts as a pass is 18. That matches the answer. The other options would require higher percentages of the total (66.7%, 50%, 83.3%), and thus are not the standard passing threshold under this policy.
