I'm going to assume that it's higher than the 61% now (a little kidding here), but curious as to by how much... this makes the fact that I passed the exam on 10/24 even more glorious. :) Hi Josh, I did not know that PMI has changed the pass percentage on the exam.

You can't compare the passing grade of one exam to the passing grade of another exam, because of the difference in level of difficulty between the two. The same is true of passing grades for comparible math classes -- the exams most likely are not of the same level of difficulty. And there is no way for you to measure the difference, without having access to both. The difference may be a difference is question difficulty, or it may be a difference in content coverage.

I'll stop "joshing" now. Thank you for the feedback, but I'll reserve the right to congratulate someone who emails me happy that they've earned any degree or certification; because I'm proud of them. And it will be up to me whether I do so in an email, blog title, heading, subheading, body, sidebar, or paint it on the side of my house. I’ll retract the libel comment; I didn’t mean it in the legal sense. I’ll stop “joshing” now.
