Interesting fact about the nuclear boards

In this month's JACC Imaging, Manuel Cerqueira et al reveal an interesting fact about the CBNC Nuclear Board Exam (which starts in 1 week!) that I could not find corroborated anywhere else -- but, hey, it's published in a peer-reviewed journal, so this info must have been vetted.

"the examination [consists] of approximately 175 questions...[passing] usually requires a correct response to 124 to 130 questions." MD Cerqueira et al. JACC Imaging 1(6):801-8, 2008.

That means you need to get at least 71-74% correct to pass.
