As per APICS data published only 60-70% of students pass the exam every year. That is after allowing multiple retakes. This means less than 50% of students are passing the exam on the first attempt. Since the retake cost is huge around 400 dollars, clearing it on the first attempt is very crucial. ( See the promo video for a detailed explanation of this )
