ARE Passing requirements

December 18, 2019 02:59

I read 57-68% will earn a Passing score on PPD, but don’t you also have to pass all five sections too? Or are some sections more heavily weighted than others and therefore a 50% in section 5 would be overshadowed by a 68% in section 2 or 3?

Jason,

I had the immediate impression that you had to have a level 2 or 1 in all sections of the exam to pass. Looking at my Fail report I pushed to pick up where I was low.

Then I read Michael Ermann's post on this forum. As well as reviewing his videos. My study and reviewing of materials changed.

I saw on one of Ben's Hyperfine's YouTube videos where he breaks down the rate of total questions per exam to the amount of correct answers needed with the time required for each question.

I'm taking my PPD retake next month. It is a challenging exam with a broad range of questions.

Thanks Derek. I'll check out Michael Ermann's post. I am already using Hyperfine's study questions and have reviewed a lot of Ben's information too. I'll look for the YouTube video you referenced. Very helpful! Good luck on your re-take.
