Pass rate plunge
Monday, August 11th, 2008Today the HR Certification Institute announced the pass rates for the May-June 2008 PHR and SPHR exam window.
It’s not pretty.
I created the following graphic so you can get a visual picture of the direction the scores are headed.
Yeeesh. This is the lowest pass rate ever for the PHR exam and the lowest for the SPHR since 2002, when it was 53 percent. Prior to the most recent administration of the exams, the average pass rate for the PHR exam was 64.8 percent, and for the SPHR exam it was 57.2 percent (using data since 2001).
Tune in next time for pass rate analysis and discussion of what this means for those now preparing for the PHR or SPHR exams.
