CPSP Scoring Explained

How CPSP Scoring Works and Why It Matters

CPSP does not use simple percentage scoring. It uses a psychometric algorithm combining the Difficulty Index (DIF) and Discrimination Index. Understanding this is the difference between thinking you passed and actually knowing you passed.

📈

DIF (Difficulty Index)

DIF measures what percentage of candidates answered a question correctly. CPSP excludes questions with DIF above 85% (too easy, all got it right) and below 15% (too hard, almost none got it right).

🔎

Discrimination Index

Measures whether a question correctly distinguishes high-performing candidates from low-performing ones. Questions that fail to discriminate are excluded from scoring.

⚖

Mark Redistribution

Marks from excluded questions are redistributed proportionally to remaining valid questions. This means your final score is based on fewer than the full 200 questions, weighted accordingly.

📋

75% Pass Threshold

After exclusions and redistribution, 75% of weighted marks is the pass threshold. A 75% on NextStepMD means you genuinely pass under CPSP's own formula.
