To successfully pass any ACSM certification exam, candidates are required to achieve a scaled score of 550. This score represents the minimum standard for demonstrating competency in the respective certification area.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) employs a scaled scoring method for its certification exams. This means that a candidate's raw score (the number of questions answered correctly) is converted to a standardized scale. This ensures that the passing standard remains consistent across different exam forms and administrations. Meeting or exceeding the scaled score of 550 on any ACSM certification exam results in a "Pass" designation, indicating that the candidate has met the necessary professional standards.
