    thats probably around 60-65%

    the net+ has a pretty low pass score.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    I's between 69 - 70%.
    The test is scored 100 - 900, which leaves 800 points. The passing score is 554, which is about 69 - 70%.

    According to their changelog, no. I think the study guides discuss it for historical and educational purposes.
    From Security+ book by Sybex:

    The best source is Comptia.

    This page (http://www.comptia.org/certifications/listed/Network.aspx) says that the passing score for the current exam (N10-004) is 720 just as CertMe2260 mentioned, which equates roughly to about 80 percent.

    If the questions are weighted equally, than each of the 100 questions would be worth 9 points each. If you get all 100 questions correct, you'd get a score of 900 (9 points * 100 questions). To get a score of 720, you'd need to get 80 questions correct (720 / 9 = 80).

    However, it's possible that the questions are weighted differently. In other words, some questions may be worth 11 points, and others worth 7 points.

    All that said, you're best thinking of the exam as a difficult one and overstudying.

    - CertMe2260. Hope you passed.

    HTH,
