Will there be a separate passing score established for each of the five civil exams?
Yes, there is a separate passing score set for each of the five exams. Beginning with the October 2005 administration, candidates will receive results of "Pass" or "Fail" only. Failing candidates will no longer receive a numerical score. Here's how NCEES explains it:
"From a testing standpoint, the five depth modules are five different exams. The passing score on each of the five exams will be determined separately by panels of licensed engineers who will meet after the exam is given. The passing score will be based on the panelists' expert opinions of the level of difficulty of each of the questions on an exam. Because the questions are different on each of the five afternoon exam modules, it is very possible that the experts on the panels will judge the overall difficulty level of the five exams to be different. Therefore, to maintain a common standard required to pass the exam, it is fair to set different passing scores. If one exam is judged to be harder than another, a lower passing score will be required to pass it."
