| M$ quit giving scores in 2001. All exams are on a "Pass/Fail" basis now.
From M$
quote:
Beginning with exams released since December 2001, Microsoft has stopped providing numerical scores as part of ongoing efforts to protect exam security and program integrity. Microsoft replaces exam items regularly to minimize item exposure and to ensure that content remains current. As content is replaced, any changes in content difficulty are counterbalanced by changes in the passing score to ensure that consistent standards are used to certify candidates.
Although this ensures consistency in pass/fail decisions, numerical exam scores are not comparable across exam versions—a score of 800 on one version may represent the same skill level as a score of 900 or 700 on another version. As content is replaced more frequently to combat exam piracy, numerical scores become meaningless—only the pass/fail status maintains meaning.
