70% (at least 56 of the 80 scored questions). 70% applies to each section separately: 56 correct on the 80-item National section and 28 correct on the 40-item State section. Pass one and fail the other and you retake only the failed section; that pass stands for two retakes or one year, whichever comes first. After a second failed attempt you must wait 30 days between retakes.
