Pennsylvania Educator Certification Tests (PECT)
For each module, your performance is evaluated against an established standard. The minimum passing scores for each module are determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and are based, in part, on the professional judgments and recommendations of Pennsylvania educators.
The total module score, which is reported on a scale of 100 to 300, is based on the number of selected-response questions answered correctly. For PAPA: Writing, the selected-response questions answered correctly and accurate revisions to the short-answer sentence corrections account for 80 percent of your total module score, and the extended constructed-response assignment accounts for 20 percent of your total module score.
