Hello all,
Does anyone know how many questions will be on the Level 1 exam and how many questions right will be considering "pass" level 1?
Thanks!

THERE WILL BE 2 EXAMS ON LEVEL 1, MORNING AND AFTERNOON SECTION. EACH SECTION HAS 120 MC
BUT I DON'T KNOW THE PASSING RATE.

They take the top 1% of scores. Then scale it down 30 points. That would be the minumum passing score (MPS). Thus if the top 1% got 93% correct, the MPS would be 63%.

I think the main reason the passing rates keep dropping is because the test keeps getting harder, thus the average score drops, but the top 1% doesn't vary much because these nerds will find a way to ace the test no matter what.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
