The certifying body does not publicly publish an official pass rate for this exam. Be wary of third-party sites citing a specific number here — treat any pass-rate claim you see elsewhere for this exam as unverified.

You need a score of 70 or higher across all three sections and at least 30 of the 50 questions in Sections II and III answered correctly. Results are reported pass or fail only. Format: 97 items in three timed sections. No official pass rate is available for this exam, so none is quoted here.
