Passing score
GCFAWhat it takes to pass GCFA
The passing score for GCFA is 71 percent. This page covers how that is scored and what happens if you miss it.
A percentage score, stated plainly
GCFA publishes its cut as a plain percentage: 71 percent of available marks passes. There is no scaled-score model to reason about here, which makes practice results directly comparable to the real exam.
If you miss it
A retake costs another $899, which is why sitting practice exams until you clear the line consistently is the cheapest part of preparing.
Know before you book
The candidates who pass on the first attempt treat the cut score as a rehearsal target, not a day-of surprise. Sit a full-length GCFA practice exam under the real time limit, scored against the published line, and book the real exam when you clear it consistently rather than once.
