    I believe 70 is passing.

    Used to be (and may be still) 70 for ABO and 72 for NCLE pass grade.

    As far as I know they are U.S. tests. One is for opicianry and the other for contact lenses. You might want to check around your country to see if they have any classes or schools. I did see thet The Worshipfull Guild of Spectacle Makers in England (the oldest optical society around) offer international correspondence courses on optics. It might be something to look into.
