Yes, the pass mark was decreased from SCJP 1.2 (61%) to SCJP 1.4(52%) because SCJP 1.4 is supposed to be harder to pass.

Now, if we project a little: SCJP 1.5 is going to be even tougher, so perhaps ( :tongueincheek : ) its pass mark will be even lower than 52%. So with 61% - 52% = 9 percentage points we could possibly expect that because SCJP 1.4 to 1.5 is only a diffence of 0.1 instead of 0.2 for SCJP 1.2 to 1.4, and using linear interpolation, that the pass mark will be reduced by a further 4.5 percentage points. That is around 48% But if it's not linear...

So it could be better to wait for SCJP 1.9 or so, so you just pays your money and you get your cert.
