What score is required to pass?
To pass, you need a score of 70% or higher. This passing score is the same across all three tiers.
Difficulty comes from two things:
the exam's question mix
the tier's difficulty calibration
It does not come from a higher passing bar.
If you reach the required score, your certification is issued automatically. It will appear in your profile certificates section, where you can download or share it.
