Passing Score
Form-specific overall cut score; compensatory scoring
Reported exam pass rate: May 2026 primary-form report: 58.4% overall; 65.3% in the defined first-time cohort (n=320). Historical results, not a prediction.. The May 2026 public report covers primary new form(s), not every administered form. Its defined first-time cohort excludes prior HRPA exam failures, statistical outliers, writers outside the window, and alternative-form writers. The technical-report hub rounds the overall rate to 58%; the full report gives 58.4%. This describes exam candidates, not OpenExamPrep users or results from using our resources. Exam sponsor website
