How the Free 120 Step 1 score calculator converts a percentage
The Free 120 Step 1 score calculator computes percent correct times 0.75, plus 145, then rounds.
Nothing else enters it. No per-system weighting and no difficulty adjustment reach the Free 120 Step 1 score calculator.
Each of the 120 questions is worth 0.625 points, so eight questions move the Free 120 Step 1 score calculator five points.

196 arrives at 68.3 per cent, or 38 misses — the line the Free 120 Step 1 score calculator exists to locate you against.

No official percent-to-score table exists, so the Free 120 Step 1 score calculator is fitted to reported outcomes; see the modelling notes.
