AUGUST 2025 CLE PASSING SCORE
To pass the August 2025 Criminology
Licensure Exam, an examinee needs to achieve a weighted average of at least 75%,
with no grade falling below 60% in any subject.
If an examinee reaches the
75% average but scores below 60% in one or more subjects, their results will be
deferred. This means they will need to retake the failed subject(s).
Deferred examinees have
one chance to retake the examination within two years from the original exam
date. To pass, they must score at least 80% in the subject they previously
failed.
If they don’t retake the
exam within two years or fail to meet the 80% passing mark, they will have to
retake all board subjects. Additionally, if an examinee fails three or more
subjects, they are considered to have failed the entire examination.
