What is the PMP Pass Rate?
Careful!
Some websites claim that the PMP passing rate is 61% or some other percentage. This is incorrect! There is no specific percentage!
We don't know because PMI is using the so-called "psychometric analysis system" for a few years now. This is a weighting system that calculates the passing rate for each exam individual, based on the difficulty of the specific exam.
You may google for it if you want to know more details, but this is useless, cause it does not matter from my perspective. You should not care thatm much about a specific percentage rate; the only thing you can do anyway is as best prepared as you can. That's it!
But how can I know then if I am ready to go or not?
- Answer as many PMP mock questions as possible.
- Track how many you answer correctly/incorrectly the first time you answer a question.
- If you consistently answer at least 75% of the questions correctly (in your FIRST attempt only!), then this is an indicator that you are getting close to exam readiness.
Important: The above measure is only an approximation. It is really hard to determine someone's readiness. Only you can make the final judgment call and decide if you are ready or not.
