    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The exam is open book and objective. It has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks for a total of 80 marks, completed in 2 and a half hours. Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    There are 8 objective questions, each worth 10 marks, giving 80 marks in total. You have 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete the paper. All 8 questions are scored, with no unscored pretest questions.

    What is the passing score for the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The six capability levels run from Level 0 Incomplete through Performed, Managed, Established, Predictable to Level 5 Optimising. Nine process attributes, from PA 1.1 Process Performance to PA 5.2 Process Optimisation, are rated on a four-point scale to derive each level.
