Nick, The passing grade is 70, they don't change that. I think they just wan't to see if any one question was consistently answered wrong and so maybe there was a problem with the question and they may decide that everyone gets that question right. I would guess that rarely happens. As far as

That sounds about right, a NABCEP board member told me they meet and vote on the difficulty of each question. So 5-7 weeks of wondering if you have what it takes to pass. When you get the email notification it will say "congratulations" or something to that effect in the subject line wh
