Exam results
The Control Center Lead Certification beta exam is a pass or fail exam. The exam results are reported as an overall score and a breakdown by domain. The exam uses a compensatory scoring model, which means that you do not need to achieve a passing score in each section. You need to pass only the overall exam. An overall score of 68 (41/60) is required to pass the exam.
Each section of the exam has a specific weighting, so some sections have more questions than others. The score report contains general information that highlights your strengths and weaknesses. Use caution when interpreting section-level feedback.
Scores specific to questions will not be reported.
Scores will be displayed at the end of the exam, and you can choose to print or email your score report. Scores cannot be used to evaluate against other candidates.
