The passing score is at 60% or above on average and the failing score is below 60% on average. Scores in individual sections of the test do not influence whether an examinee passes or fails a test; the pass/fail is determined on the basis of total score.
The Score Report provides an Overall Score that reflects the total average an examinee has achieved. The Performance Analysis shows what test-takers are able to do, are not able to do, and what they need to do to improve their skills for each part of the Listening and Reading sections.
