| Additional Information |
| Exam Results: |
You will either receive diagnostic feedback and your score report immediately after the exam at the exam center or, if you are taking the CPD Professional Application exam, you will receive your score report from Sybase in approximately 8-10 weeks.
For Beta exams, you will receive your score report from Sybase 8-10 weeks after the Beta exam has closed.
There is no fixed percentage of individuals who will either pass or fail the exam. Passing an exam depends only on your performance relative to the established standards set by Sybase Certified Professional Program. It is very difficult to pass the exams without experience with Sybase products. Your score is automatically forwarded to Sybase. Please keep a copy of all exam verification reports for your records.
Raw cut and percentage scoring on certification exams:
The test vendor reports exam results as a "raw cut score". The raw cut score does not convert directly into a percentage score. The raw cut score is based on a 200 point minimum and a 1000 point maximum, giving an 800 point range. With 600 of the possible 800 points being 75%, this translates into a raw cut score of 800 (score added to the 200 point minimum).
Many certification exams require a minimum passing score of 75%, which is a raw cut score of 800.

| Retaking Your Exam: |
Sybase allows you to retake an exam. Any candidate who fails a Sybase exam twice, must wait 30 days before taking the exam a third time. An exam taken within the 30 day waiting period is considered null and void. Even if you pass the exam, if you took it within the 30 day waiting period, you must retake the exam in order to be certified.
Sybase encourages you to make use of the diagnostic feedback supplied with the exam score report to review the performance areas that need further study. You may take a Maintenance/Migration exam no more than four times, after which you must fulfill the certification requirements as a new candidate for the desired certification. There is no discount price for retaking an exam. The fee is the same as the initial exam fee.
