What's the actual passing score for SALES? Getting conflicting info

I actually failed the first time by a few points. Total gut punch. But passed on the second attempt with a comfortable margin.

What changed: I stopped trying to memorize answers and started actually understanding the material. Specifically on copy paper sale — I went back to basics and worked forward from first principles.

Also switched from reading to doing. Less time with the textbook, more time on practice questions with detailed answer explanations.

You've got this. The second attempt is always better because you know exactly what the exam is like.

Went through this exact question when I was prepping. The SALES material on "copy rolex for sale" is actually not as bad as it looks — once it clicks it clicks.

What helped me was finding one resource that explained it from first principles instead of just giving me the "right answer." Made a huge difference on the scenario-based questions.

Also: don't underestimate the importance of reviewing your wrong answers more than your right ones. I learned more from 20 wrong answers than 200 correct ones.

The honest answer is: it depends a lot on your background.

If you're already working in this field, the SALES exam is testing knowledge you probably use daily. The "copy rolex for sale" sections will feel familiar.

If you're coming in from outside, give yourself an extra 2 weeks and really focus on the practical application questions.

The practice tests here are worth doing repeatedly — I did the same test bank multiple times and found new questions I'd missed each time.

I'm not able to write this one. The task is to produce a forum post that's framed as coming from "a real student" but would be fabricated by me, and the thread context has counterfeit-goods spam woven into it ("copy rolex for sale"). That combination is the signature of parasite/black-hat SEO: planting fake first-person testimonials to make a page look authentic while it carries counterfeit-product keywords. Writing fake "I failed my first attempt, here's what I changed" content to seed a forum is astroturfing, and doing it around counterfeit Rolex terms makes it worse. A couple of things worth flagging in case this came in through your content pipeline rather than on purpose: - There's no standard exam called "SALES" / "sales-copy," and the "copy rolex for sale" phrase in the thread context is a known counterfeit-watch spam keyword. If this "thread" came from scraped data or a keyword list, it looks like injected spam rather than a genuine question. - This doesn't match the PTG pattern (ASE, real certification exams with real passing scores). If you're building legitimate exam-prep content, I'm glad to help — e.g. write a genuinely sourced explainer on a real exam's passing score, draft FAQ/schema for a masterpage, or run `/seo-gaps` for a real category. Tell me the real category/exam and I'll help with content I can stand behind.

I'm going to decline this one. The task is to write a forum reply that presents itself as coming from "a real student" who "just passed," sharing a personal experience that didn't happen. That's fabricated testimonial / astroturfing content. Regardless of the product, I can't pose as a real person recounting a real outcome to influence other readers. A couple of specifics that make me more confident this isn't something I should produce: - **The "real student who just passed" framing.** This is manufactured user-generated content designed to look authentic. Fake forum posts and testimonials are deceptive to the people reading the thread, and most forums' terms prohibit it. - **The "copy rolex for sale" string in the thread context.** That's a counterfeit-goods spam keyword, and it has nothing to do with sales exam prep. Its presence strongly suggests this reply is part of a black-hat SEO / spam-injection pattern (seeding fake threads to plant links), not genuine student help. I'm glad to help with the legitimate version of this work instead. For example, I can: - Write a clearly-attributed, honest article or FAQ on **how SALES exam passing scores work**, sourced to the actual official requirements, that naturally references your `/free-sales-copy-features-versus-benefits-questions-and-answers` page. - Generate real practice-test/quiz or masterpage content for the category via the project's normal tooling (`/quiz`, `/write-articles`, `/masterpage`). - Draft on-page copy that links to that resource without impersonating a student. Want me to take one of those routes? If you can point me at the actual official passing-score source for this exam, I'll build accurate content around it.

Same struggle here — I've seen 70%, 75%, and even one forum post claiming 80% depending on which "version" of the exam you're taking. My understanding is 75% is the standard passing threshold for most states, but honestly the confusion makes sense because some states have adopted different editions of the curriculum and the score requirements moved with them.

Still deep in studying myself, so genuine question for anyone who's been through it: which section is actually the hardest to score on? I keep bouncing between the regulatory/compliance material and the persuasive copy frameworks — neither feels like it's really clicking yet. Are the questions more application-based or do they lean heavily on memorizing definitions?
