    Like the title asks...

    What's your pass to fail ratio (when it comes to Professional IT Exams)?

    For me, taking a look at my exam history (from Vue, Prometric & Certiport):

    I've taken: 40
    I've failed: 10
    I'm waiting for results (due to beta's etc...): 2

    My ratio is: 3.8 to 1

    This will change of course when the beta results are in, added to that when I sit more exams (got one on the 11th of July)...

    So what's yours?

    -Ken

    Taken 11 exams, passed 10, awaiting to here about the Server+ Beta which I did absolutely no revision for.

    So at the moment 100% but could be 91% if I have failed the Server+ Beta.

    Taken 11, failed one of them.
    Also took and failed 2 betas. Do they count? Failed them because most of them were nonsense - all answer options being the same, questions that didn't wrap on the screen so you couldn't read them all...

    I've only done 3 MS exams up to now, passed 2 and failed 1! Devo'd isn't in it. Fingers crossed I can change that ratio with my two MCTS exams this week . . .

    Umm... :D

    I've lost track of the betas. I don't really count some of them, because due to the nature of my job, I'm often asked to take betas without caring as to whether I pass or fail.

    The way I track it, I've taken somewhere around 68 and failed 3 where I went into the exam trying to pass.
