Hi Cutie,

I took this exam in October of last year, and I believe
you needed 60% to pass (I think). There will be 60
questions, and no if you get a particular topic wrong they
will not asked only questions on that topic, but it will
seem that way to you especially if you are weak in an area
it will appear as if all the questions are out to get you.

I took it may 26 passing score was 580, there were 50 questions. the type of exam that will ask different level
of difficulty is called an adaptive exam. this was not an adaptive exam. best advice i have is know policy

best of luck it's a b!@ch

Passing score on all of our exams is 700 and currently we do not have any
adaptive exams.

Interesting... There were adaptive exams at one time, no? Have they not
worked out? Does MS have any plans to make exams adaptive again?

Without getting into testing structures and the unbelievable amount
of development work that Microsoft puts into the exams and the stats
behind them, a score of 900 is not particularly statistically
significant in comparison to a score of 700. These exams are not
scored or written like what you took in high school.
