CISA pass rate: ISACA doesn’t publish one

ISACA does not publish official CISA pass rates. Figures you’ll see online, such as “around 50-60%”, are estimates from training providers, not ISACA data. What ISACA does publish is the passing standard: a scaled score of 450 on a 200 to 800 scale.

We could not find official ISACA pass-rate data; checked October 11, 2026.

How to judge your readiness instead

• Use ISACA’s official question database (QAE) and track your scores by domain.
• Focus on Domains 4 and 5, about half the exam.
• Treat provider pass-rate claims as marketing unless they explain their data.
