What is a Passing Score?

A passing score is the minimum number of points or percentage that a candidate must achieve on an exam, test, or assessment to be considered successful or to have met the required standard. This threshold is set by the institution or organization administering the test and is used to determine whether a participant has demonstrated sufficient knowledge, skill, or competence in the subject matter. Passing scores can vary widely depending on the nature of the test and the criteria established by the testing authority, and they are often used in educational settings, professional certifications, and licensing processes.
