Exam Policy - Exam Results and Score Report

The Fortinet Training Institute may use statistical analysis and other methods to review exam attempts to ensure that the exam result represents a valid measure of knowledge. Score reports are provisional, and the exam result may be subject to revision. Official exam results can be accessed through the candidate's Training Institute account within 5 to 15 business days. Exam results under investigation may be delayed. While any revision should occur as soon as possible, an investigation and any subsequent action may happen at any time during the validity period of an exam or certification.

For exams taken at Pearson VUE, the candidate will receive an on-screen exam result at the end of the exam. A score report will be available for download from the Pearson VUE account after 24 hours. For more information, see How can I download my Pearson VUE Examination Score Report? The Fortinet Training Institute account will be updated with the exam result within 5 business days.

For the FCX practical exams, candidates will receive their exam score report by email within 15 business days of completing the exam.

Score reports will show pass or fail for the exam, representing whether the number of correct answers on the exam is above or below the minimum required to pass. The score report will only indicate whether the candidate has achieved acceptable performance on the exam.

The main topics assessed on the exam are listed on the score report. The exam grade is based on the overall exam performance and not on the performance of individual exam sections. Exam sub-scores are represented in a bar chart based on a 0-100% scale. The proportion filled in the bar chart indicates achievement in each section. If a bar is not displayed for an exam section, no questions were answered correctly for that topic. Performance on each exam section is shown for reference only.

To maintain the confidentiality of our exams and in fairness to all candidates, the Fortinet Training Institute will not discuss exam performance with examinees.
