What's the actual passing score for ACP? Getting conflicting info

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.

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.

The state/version thing is throwing you off because you're probably mixing it up with a different ACP — this one's the Autodesk Certified Professional for AutoCAD, and it's not a flat percentage like 70 or 75 in the way people online make it sound. It's a single nationwide (well, global) exam administered through Autodesk, scored against their own scaled threshold, so the "75%" number floating around is just someone's rough estimate of how many tasks you need right. There's no per-state variation. You're overthinking the cutoff and underthinking the format, which is the real gotcha.

The part that's actually killing me though — it's the performance-based tasks where you do real work inside AutoCAD and it checks your file against an answer key. A multiple choice question you can guess. But if your dimension style or layer setup is even slightly off from what they expect, the auto-grader marks it wrong even when the geometry looks fine. Blocks with attributes and anything xref-related is where I keep losing points in practice.

So my actual question for anyone who's passed: on those hands-on tasks, does it grade purely on the end result (the final coordinates/values), or does it care about the method you used to get there — like whether you actually used OFFSET vs just drawing the line in the right spot? That's the one thing I can't get a straight answer on and it changes how I'm studying.
