The scoring is not weighted or curved; that is, your score is not based upon
others' score or giving certain questions more weight. It's kind of weird
the way Cisco figures your score. As soon as you pay your $100, you have
scored 300 points. If you get 0 questions right, you get a 300/1000. If you
get them all right, you get a 1000/1000.
Your Cisco score = 300 + (number right/65) * 700
So, with your 946, you missed 5 questions out of 65. You scored roughly
92.2%. You need to score 51/65 (78.5%) to pass.
