Congrats!! I'd say this is a very good score! Frankly speaking, I've not seen a single client asking for the exam scores.

| I'd say that there are two ways to view the score. You passed which is good. You didn't pass which is bad. You could even argue on the relativity of these views..... |

everything is relative ... 
last time I was in England I heard this message on the radio in my car...
"on the Mxx (<- fill in your favorite road...) a ghost driver is coming your way, signal the driver and make stop signs!!!..."
huh... ONE ghost driver??? I see hundreds of them

Well most employers only want to know you have the certificate, and since you passed that is enough.
Also note that the test doesnt cover just one platform it covers a lot of them, more than your likely be required to support.

No prospective employer has ever asked me what my score was either. The fact that you have the certification is all that matters - and then sometimes they don't care about the certification either
And thanks for the compliments about the site!

Maha,
What matters is you passed the exam and you are certified professional. But, as far as employers are concerned they dont bother about it that much. As long as you can do their job they are happy.
Njoy...
