Since when is a 42% a passing grade??

Georgia third-graders needed to answer correctly fewer than half the questions on the state's reading test to be promoted to fourth grade, educators disclosed Tuesday.


The "cut score" — the number of correct responses needed to pass — was 17 of 40 questions, or 42.5 percent.
