The Marine Corps minimum is 35.
And it isn't "x/100," i.e., got x questions right and everything else wrong. It's xth percentile, i.e., better than x% of graduating high school seniors.
- 1differential 3y agoI actually remember them half-joking about this - it's been years, but I would guess it's not a hard minimum
- imwillofficial 3y agoNo it isn’t. It’s x/99. Also, it’s 35 today, but waivers are often granted and standards have changed throughout the years. Lowest I’ve seen was 18.

- giantg2 3y ago"better than x% of graduating high school seniors." A very easy standard. I think I got a 96 or something like that and I missed a question about what was written on a light bulb (I said lumen which they largely do have, but they wanted watts). Stupid mistake still bugs me even though the score was meaningless.
