How many questions can you miss out of 52?

Answer 1

Well, honey, if we're talking about getting a perfect score, you can't miss a single damn question out of those 52. But if you're aiming for a passing grade, you can usually afford to screw up a few and still come out looking somewhat decent. Just don't make a habit out of it, or you'll be seeing me for some tutoring real soon.

Answer 2

Let's make a table showing the percentages of correct answers:

• 52/52 = 100%
• 51/52 = 98%
• 50/52 = 96%
• 49/52 = 94%
• 48/52 = 92%
• 47/52 = 90%
• 46/52 = 88%
• 45/52 = 87%
• 44/52 = 85%
• 43/52 = 83%
• 42/52 = 81%
• 41/52 = 79%
• 40/52 = 77%
• 39/52 = 75%
• 38/52 = 73%
• 37/52 = 71% - Some will consider a 69% or below to be failure. (Last Passing Grade)
• 36/52 = 69%
• 35/52 = 67%
• 34/52 = 65%
• 33/52 = 64%
• 32/52 = 62%
• 31/52 = 60% - Some will consider a 59% or below to be failure. (Last Passing Grade)

At this point there is no need to continue on as most schools will consider anything below 59% to be an "F".
