ACE-CPT Passing Score, Results and Retakes

What does a scaled score of 500 mean?

ACE converts the number of correct scored answers to a scale of 200 to 800. It accounts for differences in form difficulty so that a score of 500 represents the same passing standard across forms. A practice percentage does not tell you which ACE scaled score you would receive.

ACE reports the scaled score and pass or fail status when you submit the exam. Candidates who do not pass can use the domain feedback to choose what to study before another attempt. Check My ACE or ask ACE Exam Registration for the first eligible retest date. The issuer’s options and scheduling pages give different minimum waits in their published text.

When can you retake the accredited exam?

ACE gives different earliest dates in its own guidance. The live-site FAQ describes four days after a failed attempt, subject to an accommodation exception. The general post-exam summary describes 10 days. Use the first eligible date in My ACE or confirm it with ACE Exam Registration, especially if you are changing delivery methods or requesting accommodations.

ACE lists the discounted English-language retake for up to one year from your first attempt. If your study package includes a retake voucher, check the separate redemption deadline. ACE’s post-exam guidance gives 60 days to redeem qualifying vouchers. Your voucher redemption deadline and the date you can sit are separate.
