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.

No 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.

"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.

I actually remember them half-joking about this - it's been years, but I would guess it's not a hard minimum
