I know they don't release your scores if you pass but do they release the actual raw score if you don't pass or do they keep that info hidden still and just tell you which areas you were below minimal competency in?

I only ask because I was curious about how many questions we actually need to be getting right out of the 205 (on average from previous years) to beat their raw score cut off for passing?

I've heard numbers around 55% of the questions correct once the test is normalized will usually get the job done. Any truth to that number? I realize it might be guesswork and that's fine. I'm ok with good guesses at this point.
