Passing Score:

PMI does not publicly disclose the exact passing score for the CAPM® exam. The passing score is determined by PMI based on the overall difficulty of the questions and psychometric analysis. However, candidates should aim to answer as many questions correctly as possible to ensure a passing result. Focus on understanding the concepts and principles rather than trying to guess a specific passing percentage.
