Mortality Rate in the LET context refers to what?

• A. Percentage of examinees failing the LET
• B. Percentage of examinees passing the LET
• C. Total number of examinees
• D. Percentage of institutions that fail

Answer: (A)

Mortality rate here means the share of examinees who do not pass the LET. It measures how many test-takers fail relative to the total number who took the exam. You calculate it by dividing the number of failed examinees by the total number of examinees, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. For example, if 1,000 took the LET and 240 failed, the mortality rate is 24%. The other option that would fit is the pass rate, which is the percentage who pass. The total number of examinees is just a raw count, and the percentage of institutions that fail concerns institutions, not individual candidates.
