Clarification Needed on CIS-ITSM Exam Passing Criteria

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question regarding the CIS-ITSM exam passing criteria.

Is the exam evaluated based on section-wise minimum scoring, meaning we need to get a minimum number of correct answers in each topic, such as:

1. Incident Management

2. Problem Management

3. Change Management

4. Service Portfolio Management

5. Request Fulfillment

6. Configuration Management Database (CMDB)

OR

Is the final result based on the overall average score, considering all questions combined, regardless of individual topic performance?

If anyone who has already appeared for the exam or has official info can clarify this, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Md_Aziz ,

 

No, there is a defined overall cut, but what the exact passing percentage is is unknown. According to the blueprint, it is just stated how many percentage of questions there will be in the different areas.

 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.

Best regards

It’s a black box, my friend—no one knows the exact passing percentage for the CIS exam. So just work hard and go for the exam. @Md_Aziz
