Been searching for the ACP passing score and I keep seeing different numbers. Some say 70%, others say 75%, and the official website isn't super clear.
I've been working through "ACP" searches online and the passing requirement seems to vary by state or version? Or am I overthinking this?
My practice test scores are hovering around 68%. Should I be aiming higher before I schedule my actual exam?
Also I noticed on ACP - AutoCAD Certified Professional — are the practice questions usually harder or easier than the real thing? Trying to calibrate how ready I actually am.
Any recent test takers who can share what the real cutoff is?
Quick data point: I spent 8 weeks studying, 2-2 hours a day, and passed with a 85%.
The section on ACP exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.
What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.
For what it's worth from someone who's been through it:
The ACP is one of those exams where the practice tests really do prepare you well. The style of questioning is pretty consistent. If you're comfortable with "ACP" material under timed conditions, you'll be fine.
The one thing I'd add: read the question stems very carefully. They sometimes add a qualifier that completely changes the right answer and it's easy to miss when you're going fast.
Also check whether you need to schedule the exam in advance — some testing centers book up 2-3 weeks out.
