Passing score for CBAP exam


For every CBAP certification aspirant, this is a commonly asked and logical question –

“How many questions do I need to get right to crack it? What is the passing score for CBAP?“

We all like to focus on the goal. However, there is no official communication from International Institute of Business analysis (IIBA) on the CBAP exam passing score. However, considering the importance of this question, we have talked to a host of CBAP aspirants to understand and see if we can find some pattern.

There are some patterns, which seems to have emerged:

  a) You need to clear all the knowledge areas separately
  b) The passing score or passing percentage seems to be 70% and above

Note: This is NOT based on IIBA communication and is based on our discussions with CBAP certified professionals in recent times, which includes our trainers as well as other professionals.

Let me know give you some more information about CBAP exam pattern and type of questions.
