Passing Grade for Plant Entrance Exams

A few plants are requiring testing and mock-ups.  In my humble opinion that is the best way to do it.  80% is a fair requirement for passing proficiency.

That is great and as it should be.  The problem of the inability to read and write is another thing.  As bad as the primary educational system ( k-12) is in some areas of this country the inability to be able to perform those two basic functions is inexcusable.  Even the worst school should be able to give those minimal skills.  If not, why are they even allowed to operate as institutions of learning?  Some schools are even lowering their graduation standards.  Now there's a great mechanism for maintaining a competent informed work force.  Heck Florida wants to let some students skip their senior year beacuse "some have the maturity to skip it."  Only a small percentage of 16 or 17 years old has the maturity to skip whole years.  That is unless they attend a institution of higher learning that may also be lowering their standards.
