Inside the RPSGT exam: 175 questions, a scaled 350

The registry exam has no percentage pass mark. BRPT fixes the cut through a standard-setting study, a modified bookmark method, and equates every form, so 350 marks an equal standard on every version, even when the count of correct answers behind it differs slightly.

The 70 percent figure that circulates belongs to another BRPT product, the Advanced Titration Certificate, a separate assessment for people who already hold a credential. A practice tool that grades you against 70 percent is giving you a rough guide, not the board's standard.

As reported by the board, 40.1% of candidates passed in 2025 (583 of 1,454). The board's figures for the two years before are close to that (see the table), so about four in ten candidates have passed in each recent year. The numbers count everyone examined together, first attempts and retakes alike.

A candidate who fails leaves with a domain-by-domain report. The board calls the domain levels a guideline whose reliability varies with the number of items, so use it to rank weak areas, not to skip any.

Time spent on the optional tutorial and the end-of-exam survey is not deducted from your exam time, but restroom breaks are. Before the first question you have a few minutes to accept a nondisclosure agreement on screen, and if you do not, the session ends and is treated as a no-show.

The pass/fail notice appears on the testing computer the moment you finish, and a Pearson administrator prints the detailed report before you leave. That report rates your competency in each domain instead of giving a percentage. It is final: the board does not hand-score or rescore an exam.

You can retest as soon as you like and as often as you need; every attempt is a new application and a new $550. One catch: you cannot file the next application while an exam is still booked, so sit or cancel the scheduled one first.
