CIH Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The BGC CIH handbook describes a 180-question multiple-choice examination, 150 scored questions and 30 unscored pilot questions that are not identified, delivered at Pearson VUE testing centers in two sections, and the portal mock uses 180 questions in 300 minutes. The passing score is a criterion-referenced cut score that is equated between exam forms and is based on the total number correct across the whole exam; all questions carry equal weight, there is no penalty for wrong answers and there is no minimum per subject area. BGC does not publish the numeric cut score. The CIH exam blueprint based on the 2021 job analysis, effective April 1, 2022, lists three content areas with these shares: Exposure Assessment Principles and Practice 50 percent, Control Selection, Recommendation/Implementation, and Validation 35, and Risk Management 15. BGC sets an equated cut score based on the total number correct across the whole exam and does not publish the number, so no fixed percentage can be quoted. The portal mock shows a percent score only as a rough self-check. BGC's fee schedule lists a $160 application fee and a $370 examination fee, plus annual fees once you are certified; fee amounts change, so confirm them on gobgc.org before you apply. The content outline spreads questions across 3 areas; the largest are Exposure Assessment Principles and Practice (50.0%); Control Selection, Recommendation/Implementation, and Validation (35.0%); Risk Management (15.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. BGC reviews your education and experience after you complete its CIH eligibility checklist and pay the application fee; confirm the current requirements with BGC.
