I was talking about the bonus exam for the 1.5 test in my post. The MasterExam cites that 80% is necessary for passing, but most people seem to believe the passing score for the real
SCJP exam is more like 60%, like the MasterExam that comes with the book.
Since the difficulty was about the same between both MasterExams I was just trying to figure out why one was so much more strict than the other about whether you passed or failed. But it could just be a programming error. Someone else in the forum mentioned earlier that they passed with a 73%, for example, and this would have been a failing score in the bonus MasterExam.
