If you had bothered to read the documentation sent to you after registration, you would have learned the following:

"When there are differences in the examination difficulty, a mathematical procedure is used to make the scored equal."

and

"Because the number of questions required t opass the examination may be different for each version, the scores are converted onto a reporting scale to ensure a common standard. The passing grade required is a scale score of 700 out of a possible 1000 points on the grading scale"

Which would infer that not only is there a curve, you need to score above 70% to pass the examination. Maby you should spend less time making Linux secure by using a real OS *cough*OpenBSD*cough*, and more time preparing your ignorant articles.
