What is the required passing general average for the REE board examination if no grade is below 50 percent in any subject?

• A. 60 percent
• B. 70 percent
• C. 75 percent
• D. 65 percent

Answer: (B)

The rule being tested is that you pass if every subject is at least 50 percent and your general average is at least 70 percent. The general average is calculated by adding all subject grades and dividing by the number of subjects. If all scores are 50 or higher, the smallest average that still meets the passing requirement is 70, so 70 percent is the minimum you must achieve to pass. Values below 70 would fail even though no single subject is below 50, while any higher average would also pass, but 70 is the minimum threshold. For example, a set like 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 averages to 70 and would pass.
