Salesforce Exam Score Calculator (2026): Passing Scores and Section Weights

Just got your Salesforce results email, or finished a practice test? This calculator turns your section percentages, or the number of questions you got right, into an estimated overall score for 29 current certifications, shown next to the passing score along with the sections costing you the most points.

Calculate your estimated score

How do you want to enter your score?

Enter the percentage you scored in each section, from your results email or a practice test. Leave any section you don't know blank.

Your estimate will show up here.

One honest caveat: this is an estimate. Salesforce doesn't publish how section results combine into your final score, and every exam can include up to five unscored questions. Your official result is always the final word. Exam details are as of October 7, 2026, checked against Salesforce's official exam guides.

How to read your results

  • Your results email shows a percentage for each section of the exam outline. That's the share of questions you got right in that section. Salesforce doesn't show an overall percentage, which is why a calculator helps.
  • Sections aren't equal. The calculator multiplies each section by its official weighting and adds them up, so a weak score in a 28% section hurts far more than the same score in an 8% section.
  • Study the heavy, weak sections first. The "costing you" number shows how many overall points each section is taking away. That's where your next study hours pay off most.
  • Using a practice test? Switch to Questions correct and enter the length of the test. If your practice scores sit right at the passing line, give yourself more margin before you book. Here's how I study for Salesforce exams.

Salesforce certification passing scores (2026)

As of October 7, 2026. Every number in this table comes from the official Salesforce exam guide for that certification, linked in the last column. Fees are in US dollars before tax. Each exam can also include up to five unscored questions on top of the scored ones. Salesforce updates exams with its releases, so check the exam guide before you book.

Frequently asked questions

How are Salesforce certification exams scored?

Each exam has a set number of scored questions, 60 for most exams and 40 for the Foundations exams, and a passing score expressed as a percentage. When you finish, you get a pass or fail result plus a percentage for each section of the exam outline. Salesforce doesn't publish a formula for combining those section results, so any overall number, including this one, is an estimate.

Does Salesforce tell you your overall score?

No. You get pass or fail and your section-level percentages. Salesforce encourages you to use that section feedback to see where you're strong and where to study, pass or fail. This calculator turns the same numbers into an estimated overall score.

Why might my estimate differ from my real result?

A few reasons. Sections have whole numbers of questions, so a 27% section on a 60-question exam might really be 16 or 17 questions. Your exam may have been built on an earlier version of the exam guide with different weightings. The percentages in your results email may be rounded. And Salesforce doesn't publish how the sections combine. If your estimate is within a couple of points of the passing score, treat it as too close to call.

Do unscored questions count toward my score?

No. Every exam guide for the certifications above says the exam may include up to five unscored questions, mixed in at random, that have no impact on your result. You can't tell which ones they are, so answer every question.

How many questions do I need to get right to pass?

Multiply the passing score by the number of scored questions and round up. On a 60-question exam that's 39 correct at 65%, 41 at 68% (40.8 rounded up), 42 at 70%, and 44 at 72% or 73%. On the 40-question Platform Foundations exam, 62% works out to 25. Switch the calculator to Questions correct to see the number for any exam.

Is the Agentforce Specialist passing score 72% or 73%?

72%. Some older articles and practice sites still say 73%, but Salesforce's current Agentforce Specialist exam guide, aligned to the Spring '26 release, lists 72% with 60 scored questions and 105 minutes.

What if I didn't pass?

It happens to a lot of good people. Use your section results to find the weak sections with the biggest weightings, study those first, and book your retake while the material is fresh. Retakes cost $100 for most $200 exams, $200 for the $400 architect exams, and nothing for the $75 Foundations exams.

Sources: each certification's official exam guide on Salesforce Help (linked in the table above), and Salesforce's own advice on using section-level feedback.

Study guides for these exams

Each guide walks through the official exam outline section by section, with practice questions and explanations. If the calculator shows a weak section, the matching part of the guide is the place to start.

All of them, plus a roadmap for picking your next certification, are on my certification study guides hub.

Hope this helps, and good luck on your exam!

Best,

Nick
