Hate to say it but most railroads today only require an 85% or better to pass. My railroad does as well, with the added stipulation that the test must be corrected to 100%. What this does is allow the instructor or supervisor to review the missed questions with each employee to help them understand the right answers to the questions they missed, and generate a dialouge or discussion about the importance and neccessity of some of these rules <br /> <br />And also, you cannot ask a question that covers every rule in the book. Thats why we are required to carry our rulebooks with us while on duty, and have rules like 1.1.1. Hopefully these new hires will realize that if in doubt or uncertain to take the safe course. <br /> <br />Also, FRA just released an advisory on safety because seven railroaders have died in the last sixty days I believe. I found it interesting that four of the seven worked for the BNSF.
