Failed CISSP with 658. Is it really far from passing?
I failed CISSP with 658 for the first attempt. I am always suggested to retake ASAP. But in fact I don't know if 658 is still far from pass rate at 700. I just know that I missed 42 points to pass, but I don't know how many questions I failed. Can I simply divide it by four (4)? For example, score 1000/4 = 250 questions , so 42/4 will be about 11 questions or a bit more. If this method is true, it may be possible for me to improve only my weakest domains and retake ASAP. But I am afraid that if the score count is not linear (like TOEFL), that is 42 points may be equal to much more 11 questions, it would be difficult to increase the score to 700 in short time. So, I may not retake soon, but study much harder for several months. Thanks.

From what I've read it seems questions are weighted differently, which makes it difficult to determine how many you needed to answer correctly in order to pass. Were you very strong in some domains and weak in others?
Make sure that you take plenty of practice exams to verify your knowledge. Get an additional study source (book or videos, for instance) to supplement whatever study materials you've been using. With a little effort, second time should be a charm!
Don't aim for the finish line; aim for way past it.
