Scoring, Grading, Feedback, and Rewards
Scoring and Achievement
Minimum Passing Score: The minimum score required to pass the CCDL2 exam is 70%.
Lab Completion Bonus: Students who complete all four special CCDL2 investigation labs receive a 5% bonus score. This bonus is only applied if your initial score is below the passing threshold (70%). The 5% bonus applies to all exam attempts, not just the first. Regular course labs and additional labs no longer qualify for the bonus.
