Yes, you can. To pass a certification exam, you need a score of 70% or higher, not a perfect score.
Each question is worth one point, and your final score is the percentage of questions you answered correctly across the entire exam.
Understanding the scoring system
Certification exams evaluate your overall performance across all questions, not each individual answer in isolation.
Because of this, it's possible to answer some questions incorrectly and still pass, as long as your final score reaches the required 70% threshold.
Why exams are designed this way
Certified by Uxcel exams measure your ability to understand and apply concepts across the entire topic area, not just perfect recall of every detail.
This approach ensures that certification reflects strong overall competence, rather than demanding flawless accuracy on every single question.
