The CCSP exam contains 150 (125 scored + 25 unscored pretest questions) questions, and you have 240 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts. Timed mock exams in the Actual4Exams test engines are the most reliable way to build that rhythm.
The passing score for the CCSP exam is 700 out of 1000 (scaled score), and the official registration fee is USD 599 (may vary by region and tax).
