Pregnancy test accuracy is typically expressed in terms of percentages. For example, the pregnancy tests sold at Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com have a stated accuracy level that exceeds 99.9%. This means that the pregnancy tests will correctly yield a positive result 99.9% of the time when immersed in a sample containing 20 miu/ml or greater of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hcg). The accuracy of most brands of pregnancy tests, generally speaking, tends to be around the 99% mark. These tests are calibrated such that a faint test line will be visible at 20 miu/ml hcg, while no test line should be visible at lower levels.
