Also, since most of the PMI-ACP Exams would be administrated on computers, the question sets of individual candidates would be quite different hence the clearing scores for individual exams would be needed to be adjusted to the overall difficulty of the set, i.e. NOT the same. However, according to the trainers of PMI-ACP Agile Certification aspirants, most of them would estimate that the passing score would be about around 70%.
