Been searching for the CSAM 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 "CSAM" 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 70%. Should I be aiming higher before I schedule my actual exam?
Also I noticed on CSAM - Certified Specialist in Anger Management — 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?
The honest answer is: it depends a lot on your background.
If you're already working in this field, the CSAM exam is testing knowledge you probably use daily. The "CSAM" sections will feel familiar.
If you're coming in from outside, give yourself an extra 2 weeks and really focus on the practical application questions.
The practice tests here are worth doing repeatedly — I did the same test bank multiple times and found new questions I'd missed each time.
