You guys and your guesses on how the scaling works are humorous :) Each instantiation of an LPI exam has a different cutoff for passing. One version of a 201 exam could have that cutoff set at 38 out of 60 when another version is 35 out of 60. IIRC, the exams are currently requiring anywhere between 32 to 39 out of 60 to pass. What you get as a final score isn't linear between the "500" and "800" (or even the "200" and "800"). Also, "500" is the score associated with passing the test (whether it's 32 or 40 correct items) but it doesn't mean that half of test takers get above above/below that score. The overall pass rate is determined through the Angoff Study (and double checked with beta exams): http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification/exam_development_process/exam_creation__1 There is no "pass rate" standard for the LPI exams. Your score is not relative to how well other people do. It is dependent on how well you answer questions against the objectives. Personally, I'd love to see 100% pass rate but some people don't prepare as well as they should. ;) PS - If any tech guys on here would like to get more involved in these processes, please join the lpi-examdev list: http://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev Regards, -- g. matthew rice <m...@starnix.com> starnix care, toronto, ontario, ca phone: 647.722.5301 x242 gpg id: EF9AAD20 http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list lpi-discuss@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
