Pass score vs pass rate

Two different numbers that get mixed up constantly.

Pass score (cut score)

The scaled score the vendor publishes. For the Oracle MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator it is 62%. This is the number you can actually prepare against, and it is the one that decides your result on exam day.

Pass rate (percentage of candidates)

The share of candidates who pass. Oracle generally does not publish this for individual exams, and the numbers you find online usually come from candidate self-reported surveys. We would rather tell you nothing than tell you a figure we cannot source.

Where you lose points

The exam is not scored flat. Each domain carries its own weight, so a domain where you lose everything can sink a score that looks fine on paper.

Losing this domain entirely costs you 18% of the exam, and it has 13 practice questions here.

About these numbers: Oracle does not publish a numeric cut score for the Oracle MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator, so the figure above is Certilum's own benchmark rather than an official threshold. We would rather show you that than present an invented percentage as fact.

The practical version: the Oracle MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator is not passed by knowing most of the content. It is passed by being strong in the domains that carry weight, and by not leaving one of them empty.
