Your Pearson VUE exam proctor will give you an unofficial result when you check out at the test center. ISC2 will email you the official exam results. If you have passed, you will receive directions on how to complete your certification process.
ISC2 offers the option to conduct bulk verifications of candidates' certifications for Third-Party Partner Organizations.
Receiving Your Results
ISC2 conducts a thorough statistical and psychometric analysis of the score data to establish the pass/fail score before releasing scores. We need a minimum number of test takers before this analysis can be completed.
Depending on the volume of test takers for a given test, there may be times when scores are delayed for approximately six to eight weeks to complete this critical process.
Your exam proctor will give you an unofficial exam result when you check out at the test center. ISC2 will email you the official result.
In some instances, real-time results may not be available.
All test results are subject to the ISC2 psychometric and forensic evaluation. This evaluation could take place after you get your official results. (The timing is based on the number of tests taken.) If the psychometric and forensic evaluation affects your score, ISC2 will notify you.
Results will not be released over the phone.
If you have any questions about this policy, contact ISC2 before your exam.
