in A+
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could actually explain the pass rate for A+ Core exam (planning on taking next week, if the college gets the systems updated icon_rolleyes.gif)

I know the pass rate is 515 in a scale of 100-900, but what exactly does this mean?

    The scale starts at 100? Do A+ candidates get points just for spelling their own name correctly on the test?

    Only CompTIA knows how they score their exam.

    Passing is 515/505 on the two exams. These are the lowest required pass scores in the CompTIA section that I am aware of.

    My suggestion, just get as many correct as you possibly can. Yes, kind of lame advice, but there is no way to say you need to get 'x' of 80 correct to pass.

    Questions are valued at different amount, some are not graded at all - only CompTIA knows.

    'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
