From the Microsoft Exam and Testing Procedures (http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcpexams/faq/procedures.asp) FAQ:
Q. Why did Microsoft change the score report?
A. Based on customer feedback, Microsoft redesigned the score report to detail the areas in which an MCP candidate has technical strengths and the areas in which the same candidate needs improvement.
Q. What does the new score report look like?
A. The report gives you a numerical score and a bar graph for each skills section of the exam.
Q. What does my score mean?
A. Beginning with the release of the Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003–related exams, Microsoft will provide numerical scores on exams. By the end of September 2003, most exams will have the new score report format, which includes this numerical score. Microsoft has worked with customers and testing industry experts to create an exam scale that would be consistent across all exams. The new scale requires a minimum passing score of 700 on all exams. The maximum score on the exams will vary depending on the complexity of the skills being measured.
Q. What do the bars mean on the new score report?
A. The length of the bars indicates how strong the examinee performed for each skills section of the exam. The closer the bar is to the strong end of the continuum, the higher the score on that skills cluster. The closer the bar is to the needs development end of the continuum, the lower the score on that skills cluster. If a bar is not present, the examinee either answered all questions incorrectly or did not answer any questions within that skills cluster. These results will help all examinees determine areas where they have strengths and where they need improvement. The skills sections listed on the score report correspond to those listed in the skills matrix provided in the Exam Preparation guide.
Q. What exams will be affected?
A. Beginning with the release of Windows Server 2003–related exams, Microsoft will provide numerical scores on exams. By the end of September 2003, most exams will have the new score report format, which includes this numerical score.
Q. How and when will I get my exam results?
A. You will receive notification of your pass or fail status on the computer where you completed your exam. In addition, you also will receive a printed examination Score Report indicating your exam score as well as section level feedback by skills measured.
Pearson VUE and Thomson Prometric will automatically forward your test score to Microsoft within five working days after you take an exam.
Q. Why don’t Exams 70-292 or 70-296 show a numerical score?
A. Only pass or fail status can be provided for these exams because each is a composite of two exams rather than a single exam.
Q. Why don't I get the new score report when I take Exams 70-220, 70-221, 70-222, 70-225, 70-226, or 70-300?
A. The new score reports for these exams will be available by the first of the year.
