The passing score for the examination is not established prior to the marking session. A group of expert architects who have participated in the preparation of the objectives and the questions will meet to determine the passing score. A passing score will be selected for each of the four sections of the ExAC. The passing score for each section will be determined following a statistical test analysis of the results for each part of the examination. Certain questions may be withdrawn from the ExAC after the measurement parameters for the questions have been analyzed. The process for determining the passing score will be undertaken following a preliminary analysis of the questions and the results.
