ISACA uses a 200–800-point scale with 450 as the passing mark for the exams. A scaled score is a conversion of the raw score on an exam to a common scale. It is important to note that the exam score is not based on an arithmetic or percent average. For example, the scaled score of 800 represents a perfect score with all 150 questions answered correctly; a scaled score of 200 is the lowest score possible and signifies that only a small number of questions were answered correctly.

A candidate must receive a scaled score of 450 or higher to pass the exam. A score of 450 represents a minimum consistent standard of knowledge as established for the exam by the respective ISACA Certification Committee. The passing score of 450 represents the minimum number of questions that must be answered correctly by the candidate in order to demonstrate practical application of the job task and knowledge statements. A candidate receiving a passing score may then apply for certification if all other requirements are met.

You can qualify for all ISACA’s exam on the first attempt by following certain tips like reading the ISACA's candidate information guide, following a schedule, joining study groups assisted by our chapter faculty & certification coordinators, appearing for practice exams, and participating in a test preparation course conducted by ISACA Bangalore Chapter.
