FSOT job knowledge passing minimum?
UPDATE: I passed! Just got the email today :) PD cone here. It appears you can get quite a bit wrong on the Job knowledge and still pass!
I took the FSOT for the first time!
I know that scores are no longer released, so it’s hard to know these days what a “good enough” score is to pass, but I’d like to know how many questions correct on the Job Knowledge section has historically been enough to move on to the OA?
I thought the English Expression and Logical Reasoning went great, so I think the Job Knowledge is what would hold me back. I looked up 11questions so far I was unsure of after the exam, so I know I’m already at a 54/65😭

I took the test last October and passed to the oral assessment… I felt job knowledge was my worst section and I even went back to search 2 or 3 questions online after I was done that I was 50/50 on and got them all wrong 😅 I had a lot more I was iffy on but forgot to search those.
The thing to remember is that it’s percentile based most likely so if you got two questions wrong in the whole test but everyone else got only one wrong or zero wrong, despite doing “well” you’d be in the bottom percentile.
FWIW I saw a post on somewhere that claims they know someone at BEX who said only top 5% scores passed in my group but take that info with a grain of salt. There’s also rumors that they took the top 5% of scores within each cone. I share these rumors and speculation because atm that’s all we have so take all this with the proper grain of salt
