No, you can pass or fail with any number between the minimum and maximum. Good luck.

Interesting that two people said they got 205 questions and failed. I wonder if this is some kind of # parameter. I went to 265 and passed. The number of questions don't decide pass or fail. It is true however, that the higher number of questions answered determine (in the case you fail) how well you did. Say if you fail with 75 questions you did very bad, but if you fail with 265 questions you did much better, but it still does not determine how "close" you were to passing, its only a relative estimate.

I took my test here in california on May 19th, and I too had 205 question... or more... well it was definitely more than 200. I've tried the PVT and Im getting the "good pop up" so i will just have to wait and see.

Yeah I just took my exam with 205 questions and I put my name on my state licensing board and it said Passed Exam, License Pending. So it looks like I passed my exam wit h 205 questions. Good Luck to all of you.
