I just finished the final assessment in CompTIA Learn for CySA+, my score was 77%. In the Strengths and Weaknesses page, I am pretty much Proficient across the board, with one Expert and one Advanced.
Now, when I research a passing score on the CompTIA CySA+, it is listed as 750 on a scale of 100-900. I figure 750 is approximately 80% between 100 and 900, so it suggests a passing score is about 80%. Meaning I'm just shy of passing; on the other hand, it shows me a percentile of 86, which doesn't sound too bad.
So which is it? Am I barely passing, or doing pretty well? I kind of wish CompTIA Learn would use the same scale as the final exam so I had a better idea of where I stood!
I did similar math after passing the PenTest+ exam. I've read intellectual explanations of why the scale is different. People still comprehend percentages. I agree with you Marcio. CompTIA needs to change the scale.
