The passing score for the PMP Certification Examination is determined by a criterion-referencedapproach called the Angoff Modified Technique. This technique is currently considered by testingpro fessionals to be one of the m ost defensible m ethods ava ilable for establ ishing a pa ssing scorebecause i t re l ies on the poo led judgments of content experts (PMPs) . This approa ch asks a groupof PMPs to review each item on the examination and determine the probability that minimallyknowledgeable candidates will answer each item correctly. The final passing score for the exam-ina t ion is based on th is pooled judgment and the ca lcula t ion of the s tandard error of the mean.Finally, i tem an alysis and reliability indices are calculated for each qu estion.
