MS is no longer giving the test scores out for there exams, only a PASS/FAIL
score.

I assume they think this will help limit braindumps and such and make their exams more difficult to pass.

Any thoughts if this is will be effective,
and should Cisco adopt a similar policy?


"Beginning in December 2001, new exam score reports indicate only pass or fail status. Candidates no longer receive feedback on exam sections, as this information does not meaningfully reflect complex item types. In addition, candidates no longer receive overall scores. Microsoft certification exams are designed to validate each candidate's ability to perform a specific job function or set of tasks in the real world. The exams are not designed or intended to provide feedback on areas for potential improvement, or to distinguish among individuals capable of performing the relevant job or set of tasks. To obtain diagnostic feedback, Microsoft recommends candidates use MCP Practice Test Provider tests. Learn more about practice exams on the MCP Practice Tests page."
