Hey,
I think this might be one of those questions that cant really be answered due to the closed book nature of exam scores, but assuming the pass mark is 700 (cant anyone confirm that?) I am wondering what the exam score is based on?
Is it based on objectives, meaning your overall score on, say security, or is it based on how well you do on individual case studies, so you have to get over 700 on each case study or is it based on how you do on them overall, so you could get all the questions right on 5 of the case studies and then get them all wrong on the 6th (I'm assuming there is 6) and still pass.
Obviously come the day I'll do my best on all of them, but its one of those things that popped into my head and now I really want to know, even though on the day it wont make any difference.
Regards,
D.

Microsoft doesn't usually tell how they score the tests, but 700 or more has to be the total score you get in order to pass (I believe).
Used to be you had to score X out of 1000 points, but how those points were weighted, no one ever knew. Certainly each answer in a Multi-Choice question is weighted differently than a single answer or a sim question. And MS doesn't tell you what the total number of points on the exams are anymore. Or if they do, I haven't been able to find it.
One thing I noticed when I took the 70-447 Upgrade exam was a disclaimer that there were unscored questions in the test in order to evaluate the suitability of the test. So you can't just say there X number of questions with Y number of answers and divide the total by 1000 to get the "points per answer" or "points per question".
