Note from the vendor record: PMI sets the passing score by psychometric analysis and publishes no numeric cut score; exam fee varies by PMI membership status and region and is not listed on PMI's public pages - do not state a price. PRICE: PMI does not publish the CAPM exam price on its official page (pricing depends on membership and region). PMI's official PDF 'overview-guide-and-brochure.pdf' lists for CAPM 'PMI member: US $225 (EUR185) Non-member: US $300 (EUR250)', but that document is outdated (the same table shows PMP at US $405 / US $555 versus the current US $575 / US $675), so it is not considered a verified current price. PMI handbooks: 'The fees for obtaining the CAPM Certification are subject to membership and regional pricing'. Official exam page
