Abstract

The CFP™ Certification Examination1CFP™, Certified Financial Planner™, and ▪ are certification marks owned by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. These marks are awarded to individuals who successfully complete the CFP Board’s initial and ongoing certification requirements.1, unlike many other professional examinations, is scored using a system that reports scores on a pass–fail basis but does not provide specific numerical scores. This grading system, known as the modified Angoff process, establishes a passing score for each examination and then incorporates adjusting factors to reconcile actual and expected testing results. The CFP Board also factors in an additional scoring adjusting to equate test scores for consistency over time. The purpose of this paper is to explain the methodology of the modified Angoff process and, in particular, how it relates to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Certification Examination.
