How CPSP Calculates JCAT Results

📊

DIF-Adjusted Score

CPSP removes questions that were too easy or too hard (DIF outside 15-85% range) and redistributes those marks. Your final percentage is based only on valid questions.

Pass Mark: 75%

You need 75% after DIF adjustment to pass JCAT. To be safe, aim for 80%+ on raw questions since DIF removal always shifts your percentage slightly.

🏅

National Ranking

CPSP publishes rank lists after each JCAT. Your national rank reflects your DIF-adjusted score relative to all other candidates who sat the same sitting.

📅

Result Timeline

CPSP typically announces JCAT results within 4-6 weeks of the exam date. Results are uploaded to the CPSP candidate portal and sent by SMS/email.
