ServiceNow does not officially publish the passing score for the CIS-HRSD exam.

 

There are rumours about the passing rate being 75% or 80%, but nothing confirmed by ServiceNow — and it might even differ by exam type.

 

See this answer by the Manager of Certification Programs.

Hi @abdulhannan,

 

the exact percentage us not shared and nor known for any of the ServiceNow certification exams. It is believed the threshold is somewhere around 70-80 % (but no guarantee on that).

 

Buuuuuuut each exam is divided into various number of domains and candidates must have satisfactory percentage (again not exactly sure) in each of the domains. 

 

Below it's the HRSD in details:
