Actual passing rate for PMP Exam

Submitted by javerose on Tue, 10/05/2010 - 21:32

Hi

I'm preparing to pass the exam next week, thanks to PMZilla have found tons of good info to read. I have one doubt that I have in my mind all the time, what is the actual passing rate for the exam?. I know that in the  PMP exam, PMI rates students based on parameters like "Proficient," "Moderately Proficient" and "Less Proficient." - exact scores are not displayed. But in some sources the passing rate is different. For Rita is around 61% as well that in PMStudy, but in other (Oliver Lehman) is around 70% to 75%.

What is the correct one?

Thanks for your reply

Hi


In PMP exam you need to score 61%. Out of 200 Q, 25 are not used for scoring. No one would know what those 25 questions are.

Hello All

Should I pass in all process groups in the PMP exam,

or is it engough to pass the 61.5%

I other words, if I hit one "Less Proficient." will this cause failure in the exam

Since the year 2005, PMI has stopped publishing the passing rate. Before that, it used to be 61%. I have written a detailed article on the Passing rate of PMP Exam in this year 2010. Please review this to get clarity on the PMP Passing rate now.
