Passing score
GPENWhat it takes to pass GPEN
The passing score for GPEN is 73 percent. This page covers how that is scored and what happens if you miss it.
A percentage score, stated plainly
GPEN publishes its cut as a plain percentage: 73 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 GPEN 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.
