Default CISSP Scoring Scale

Is anyone familiar with the scoring of the CISSP exam? I can't find anything listed for the score. Security+ and other exams have the pass/fail threshold listed. 750 or above to pass, 749 or below is a fail. Is there something like this for CISSP? If so, wha are the passing/failing scores?

----Edit----

Wiki and CISSP.com say the passing score is 700. Is this accurate?

From my CISSP blog articles:

Quote:
Do not study for the exam as if you are only trying to get the minimal passing score. There is no way to know where the passing mark is on the exam. Attempting to reduce your study time by guessing what might not be on your exam is only asking for failure. Instead, study as if you are trying for a score of 100 percent. Remember, you are not putting yourself through this experience just to pass the CISSP exam, but also to become a better Information Security professional.

Yeah, but it really doesn't matter that passing is a threshold like 700/1000. Knowing the passing score on any (ISC)2 doesn't help you at all. The score is only important if you fail. If you pass the CISSP exam, you just get a "PASS" and never receive your actual score.
