Answer 4

The passing score for the beta exam is little above 75%. I think it will be very similar with the normal exam.

Answer 5

The passing score for the beta exam was unknown at the time. Later the passing score was set to 75.76% for the beta exam. Most probably they will keep this threshold.

Answer 6

Nothing have been decided yet.

And the results of the exam are not immidiately shown (it will take from 4 to 6 weeks to annonce the results)

So the answer is that nobody nows, the only sure thing is that from the 150 there will be some question to be removed without impacting scores.

And do not forget that one of the purposes of this beta exam is to decide a pertinent pass score and other details based on the 200 candidates results.

UPDATE : After beta exam, the theshold is set 75.76 so may be it should be the exams passing score.
