Been searching for the CEP 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 "CEP" 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 CEP - Certified Energy Procurement Professional — 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?
Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:
The CEP exam is more application-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand CEP, not just whether you can define it.
My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.
Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.
