Passing score
Cybersecurity Defense AnalystWhat it takes to pass Cybersecurity Defense Analyst
Splunk does not publish a fixed cut score for Cybersecurity Defense Analyst. Here is what is known, and how to prepare when the target is not a number.
What an unpublished cut score means
Splunk states that the passing score for Cybersecurity Defense Analyst 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
Splunk makes you wait seven days after a failed attempt before you can sit the exam again, and says the wait is longer for later retakes. Splunk reserves the right to deny a retake beyond the sixth attempt. A retake costs another $130.
Know before you book
Sit a full-length Cybersecurity Defense Analyst 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.
