I just took PPD end of last month for the second time and I failed. I didn't have time to study at all due to work and life, and I had rescheduled the test a few times already. My score is a bit higher than the first round i took in Dec 2024. However, the Passing Candidate% Correct for the first round is between 68-75%. And for this second round, it is between 76-90%.

Does that mean if I were to pass the second round, my score should have been within 76-90%? The find print still states "candidates must correctly answer between 65% - 71% of the total number of scored
questions to receive a passing score"

Is this division getting easier after April 28? 76-90% is really high.

  I think the data you are looking at means "candidates pass at a rate of X on their first and second attempts." Not, "candidates must score X to pass on their first and second attempts." The pass rate goes up on second attempt, which makes sense.

  Hi,

  I was wondering the same thing. Has this cut score range for PPD changed recently? Possibly as of this month? Where the range is now, which looks like, 76%-90%. I have taken this exam a few times and yes it has been in that 65-71% range but I unfortunately, Failed last week and the cut score is 76-90%.
