Passing score

rob1234

Hi on the Comptia website it says the following about the passing score:



Passing score
500
(on a scale of 200-800)



What percentage is that? are they saying there is 600 points to get and you need 500 or saying the points start at 200 and you need to get it to 500 to pass?

Thanks,

You need a 500 out of 800 to pass

You get 200 points just for showing up...

On the serious side, I never understood the reason for this kind of a scale. So this thread triggered me to research the question - and the best explanation that turned up was this: Scoring models that don't start at zero - Straight Dope Message Board
