Hello Prajakt, I sent your message to our psycometrician and our exam development department, and here is their response to your question; "After some calculations, we denote that he got 77% of the items correct. Please let this candidate know that LPI does not condone his company's requirements. The only valid requirement is that the test-taker passes because LPI does not construct exams to distinguish *among* qualified system administrators. Rather, the exams are designed to distinguish *between* qualified and non-qualified admins. Measurement devices like exams have intended purposes that are appropriate; using LPI's exam for an unintended purpose may not be appropriate...
