The National Home Inspector Examination® is scored by a scaled scoring system, which is used by exams like the ACT and SAT in the United States. Since there are multiple versions of the NHIE, a scaled scoring system is a fair way to evaluate, score and adjust for differences in difficulty between the questions that appear on different versions of the exam. This method takes the raw score (the number of questions answered correctly) and converts it to a score between 200 and 800, with a passing scaled score of 500. 

On the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE), 25 of the 200 multiple-choice questions are ungraded “pretest” questions. These ungraded questions are used to assess their performance for potential inclusion in future exams. By including these experimental questions, the test developers can validate the quality and difficulty of new items without affecting the test taker’s score. Therefore, only 175 questions contribute to your final score, which is part of maintaining the exam’s fairness and ensuring that future versions of the test remain accurate and reliable.
