FAQ

The passing scaled score for both Parts of the exam is 500. The raw score is converted through a statistical formula, revealing a scaled score. The AFP do not indicate an exact number or percentage of questions that need to be answered correctly to pass the exam. As there is no penalty for incorrect answers, it is recommended to try to answer each question to the best of your ability.

AFP does not limit the number of times an exam candidate can retake the exam. However, if you need to re-test more than ten consecutive testing windows after your initial application, you will need to reapply and pay the application and examination fees.
