Passing score
PCDWhat it takes to pass Cloud Developer
Google Cloud does not publish a fixed cut score for PCD. Here is what is known, and how to prepare when the target is not a number.
What an unpublished cut score means
Google Cloud states that the passing score for PCD is variable and does not publish it. The exam uses scaled scoring, and the cut can shift between exam revisions as questions are recalibrated.
With no published line there is nothing exact to aim at, and a site that gives you one is guessing. Sit full-length practice under the real time limit and aim for a comfortable margin rather than a precise number.
If you miss it
A retake costs another $200.
Know before you book
Sit a full-length Cloud Developer practice exam under the real time limit, scored against a realistic cut, and book the real exam when you have cleared it more than once.
