    The scores are scaled and weighted. That means not every MCQ carries equal mark. You can pass with 50MCQs if those were to be weighted more. To be secure in exam, once you feel confident that you handled tricky questions well and did safely get 75% to 80% of MCQs right, that is when you can be certain of passing the exam. You do get essay window open when you get 50% correct answers. Wish you good luck!
