How many question can you miss to get a 70 percent on a 186 question test?

70 percent of 186 = 130.2. As you cannot get 0.2 of a question right, we'll round that up to 131. That leaves 55 questions you could get wrong and still score 70 percent - 70.43 to be precise. If the examiner is feeling generous, then they would round up 130 questions correctly answered from it's actual value of 69.89% to 70&, but it might be best not to bank on that.
