CISSP Exam Scoring Error

In (ISC) 2's exam process, a serious mistake has been recently discovered. Some candidates were notified that they had failed and vice-versa, but they pass the exam when taking the CISSP exam. This only affected exams scored from October 15-21, 2010. An embarrassing and costly mistake to be sure, especially for CISSP candidates seeking to become compliant with the U.S. Department of Defense mandates, but (ISC)2 is doing their best to make it right.

CISSP candidates who received pass notices but really failed the exam:

These individuals will receive a full refund of their exam fee, the opportunity to retake the exam at no charge, and a free online CISSP CBK Seminar.

CISSP candidates who received fail notices but really passed the exam:

Upon candidates' completion of the certification process, ISC(2) is waiving Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs) for one year for those who received inaccurate fail notices in October. They will also expedite, upon request, the processing of endorsements and experience verifications received from affected candidates.

(ISC)2 Executive Director Hord Tipton is providing updates and contact information for this issue via the (ISC)2 blog.

(ISC)2 has contacted the affected CISSP candidates, but this should serve as a reminder to candidates for any certification that such errors, though extremely rare, can happen. So you are supposed to email to concern to the testing center an dthe certfication vendor, if you believe the score that you is far behind deserve.
