CIA Exam Part 3 Scoring

The CIA Exam Part 3 is computer-graded. The candidate will receive the result within five minutes of finishing the exam. Scores are determined by the difficulty level of questions asked and converting the value of questions answered correctly to a scale between 250 to 750. A score of at least 600 is required to pass the exam, i.e., 80%. If the questions are of higher IQ level, the passing score can go below 600, but if the items tested are easy, then passing criteria can go up from 600.

Whether the questions being asked are easy or difficult, I suggest you target achieving an overall 85% in exams by accurately attempting the 85 correct questions out of 100 questions in CIA Part 3. 

The trend analysis for several years of CIA exam passing ratio is between 40% to 44%. However, the results of candidates preparing from Muhammad Zain’s study books and test bank questions are at least 90%.
