About
Results
The exams are compensatory; there is a minimum passing score
for the exams as a whole, but not for the individual topic areas
reflected on each exam. After the completion of each exam window,
candidates’ scores will be returned to the CIPM Association to undergo
thorough statistical analysis.
The CIPM Association sets the minimum passing score for each exam. Pass rates are a result of, not a determinant of, the minimum passing score. Exam results are reported as either “pass” or “fail.” Exact numeric scores are not released to candidates. Results are made available online, usually within 60 days of the close of the exam window. We will notify candidates by e-mail when results are available.
