How is the LPPE scored?

The LPPE, or Licensure Practical Examination, is scored according to the number of correct answers out of the total questions. This method provides a clear and quantifiable assessment of a candidate's knowledge and competence in the subject matter. By calculating the raw score based on correct responses, the examination effectively evaluates the candidate's understanding of chiropractic principles and practices.

This scoring method is beneficial as it allows for direct evaluation of the candidate's performance against the total number of items they were expected to respond to, making it easier to determine if they have met the necessary standards required for licensure. It offers a straightforward approach, where the focus is on the accuracy of answers rather than factors like time taken or comparisons to statistical averages, which may introduce variables that do not reflect an individual's knowledge or skills.
