#'s of question to pass 70-216
|
|
|
| Dear all,
For the 70-216 exam, how many correct answer out of 65 question should I
answer to pass.
When this new policy for pass/fail in the MS exams had approved.
Thanks

No pass rate at either site but it's probably around 60% if any of the other
MCP exams are to go by. I'd hate to have a surgeon who only knew about half
of his stuff to be operating on me!!
MS raise the pass marks to something a little more respectable here please.
I think even for Pro it should be 75 - 85 % to gain MCP

If the questions are going to be B.S. like "what is the title of the
dialog that handles function X", then that pass rate is unrealistic, as
would be "What is the name of the scalpel drawer third one down on the
left"?
I think the tests ought to be MUCH more realistic. Make a user install
the OS. Make them configure a VPN to another node on the lab. Make
them configure a working DNS server's reverse lookup zone. Put a time
limit on each task. THOSE, you ought to have 80% on, plus some of the
current questions like there are now.
BTW, you can pass medical school with less than 75%.... Somewhere there
is a doctor that graduated with 60%, D's, and got his license. How do
you KNOW?
