Some questions will be modified, some discard, and maybe some added. Questions will be scored. All results will then be scored versus the test model. You will then receive notice via snail-mail of how you did.

I'll add that you either pass or don't pass. There is no inbetween and you may not be told what areas you did well/poorly in. According to info I got from MS, the beta results should be released about the time the exam goes live, which again, depends on the number of people that actually take the test.
