The candidate scores calculated during analysis are converted to scaled scores, which allows the scores from the current exam to be compared to those of previous exams. The equating process ensures that candidates meet the same standard to pass the exam. The scale is between 100-800, and a score of 500 or higher is required to pass the exam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-9b0e7536\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"761\" height=\"629\" class=\"gb-media-ed30cd43 animated fadeInRight duration2 eds-on-scroll\" src=\"https:\/\/iaap-cap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/MidPage-Scoring.jpg\" title=\"MidPage Scoring\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iaap-cap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/MidPage-Scoring.jpg 761w, https:\/\/iaap-cap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/MidPage-Scoring-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-e6eb2188\">\n<a class=\"gb-element-8124636f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I5Fg5Ltu6JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-3027ecdc\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"gb-text-d543e638\"><span class=\"gb-text\">Watch: CAP Exam Scoring Explained<\/span><span class=\"gb-shape\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M221.66,133.66l-72,72a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L196.69,136H40a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H196.69L138.34,61.66a8,8,0,0,1,11.32-11.32l72,72A8,8,0,0,1,221.66,133.66Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"gb-element-1fbdf50d\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-element-efaea4f8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kryterion.com\/locate-test-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-b677a3f7\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"gb-text-6f31696d\"><span class=\"gb-text\">Find a Testing Center<\/span><span class=\"gb-shape\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M221.66,133.66l-72,72a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L196.69,136H40a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H196.69L138.34,61.66a8,8,0,0,1,11.32-11.32l72,72A8,8,0,0,1,221.66,133.66Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"gb-element-3bdaa0fd\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Know What to Expect Before You Walk In.
