Exam scoring

I want to settle this once and for all. How does CompTIA score their exams?

My question is this: Does anyone have corroborating evidence that clearly shows CompTIA publicly announcing how they score their exams?

I don't think anyone is going to find it because CompTIA isn't going to release that information. To be honest, I believe any of those 'de-facto' answers are speculative at best. Only thing I can suggest is if someone who had that information was let go last year during the great buyout purge - although I would expect that those people would have some NDA's to sign.

So, I think I'm with Greg on this one - there's no way to definitively know, which means there may be trainers/authors/instructors/etc out there overstating things - which I have also observed.

Every exam has a handful of PBQs, while the overwhelming majority of questions are multiple-choice. Most exams have a maximum of 90 questions, but could have fewer. All exams are on a 100-900 scale, with the exception of a few exams that are pass/fail only.

A well-known trainer posted this on another forum:



I have no idea where he got this information. I taught classes FOR COMPTIA and never once did they mention how they scored their exams. I helped write exam questions and never once did they mention how they scored their exams.

Questions have different weighting. CompTIA has never released score values from questions but it is estimated that a multiple choice question (MCQ) is about 9 points, multi-select questions (MSQs) are worth 9 points X however many correct answers there are to select and PBQs run around 90 points (partial credit can be earned).

SecAI+ Exam Voucher – CIN TTT Series

Stephen Schneiter said:
Hi Everyone! Just a reminder, as you recall from the series, we mentioned that there will be a two week grace period after the last live session for anyone who needed to catch up on missed sessions. That period ended this week and I have pulled the attendance records from ON24 and sent it to the Data team for processing. Based on previous offerings it will take a couple more weeks for the list to be finalized, vouchers ordered and distribution to begin. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I will post an update in this thread as soon as I hear a date for the vouchers to go out.

  • Question
How do you find the Account Executive for your university?

P
An admin, Stephen, said in one of his posts that that the best approach anytime anyone needs a voucher or discount is to reach out to their Account Executive. How do you find the Account Executive for your university? The Account Executive for DeVry University is no longer with CompTIA. How do I find the new Account Executive for DeVry University? I called the CompTIA Customer Support and they told me to reach out to my university to find out who the Account Executive is. However, I'm the contact! So, I cannot reach out to myself. Please help!

Hi everyone,


I just wanted to check if anyone has received their exam voucher after attending all six sessions of the CompTIA CIN TTT Series: SecAI+?

Voucher distribution requires a validation process, so it usually takes time.
