RE: Something that I've been wondering
I wish it is so easy. The questions are not the same values. Some are worth more than the others. I have no idea why they use 300 as a base. It is not only CCNA but all the exam I had taken so far. The passing mark range from 692 to 790.

Now from what I remember you have a possible score of between 300 to 1000 in CCNA1 Now that makes every question wortn about 7 points because you get 300 for just showing up. Why do they have to do this 1000 point thing anyway?

RE: Something that I've been wondering
Title: RE: Something that I've been wondering I guess the thousand point scheme is to maintain backward compatibility with competitors like microsoft, novell etc. and better scalability of the exam in the sense they could remove those 300 marks anytime and add some difficult questions to sum up to the existing one, and scale their exams without really much changing the pattern..

RE: Something that I've been wondering
I haven't been following this thread closely, but from what I understand, the questions are weighted, not scored equally.

Well, remember that if you *don't* show up, you score 0, so the 300 is for being able to locate the exam site and manage to get there on time on the right day. I guess you could say it's the "hands-on" part of the exam. :-) -- Bungee jumping and skydiving are for wimps.
