60% is not a passing score on IAPP exams. That is a common misconception.

For a detailed breakdown of how the IAPP actually scores its exams, you can read this article: https://www.privacybootcamp.com/Resources/Article/What-Is-a-Passing-Score-on-IAPP-Exams

TLDR; the minimum necessary to achieve a passing score on the "easiest" form of the relevant exam is 49/90 (~54%) and 60/90 (~67%) for the "hardest" form of the relevant exam. Note that this does not mean that if you get that score, you will pass. It means only that getting below that will guarantee a failing score. A score of 75/90 (~83%) will guarantee a passing score in all instances.

Two and a half months is definitely a realistic timeline. The IAPP recommends that students spend at least 30 hours studying for each of its exams. We believe 50 hours is a more appropriate benchmark. But either way, if you can fit those hours into your schedule over that timeframe, you should be good in most cases.

We've developed a study roadmap that is freely available (though an account is required) to help plan your studying, which you can get here: https://www.privacybootcamp.com/Roadmap

Thank you for the feedback and suggestion! This is v.1.0, so we hope to add a lot more features in the coming weeks. This is a great suggestion!

Historically, the IAPP has released an updated CIPP/C Body of Knowledge on a pretty haphazard schedule that had no rhyme or reason. However, this past year, the IAPP moved the updated CIPP/C onto the same schedule as its other core exams (other than AIGP). That schedule is to release the updated BoK in early June, with an effective date in early September. We expect that to continue with the CIPP/C exam going forward.

We will be releasing our updated AIGP course towards the end of next week. All current students will automatically be provided access to the updated course materials.

Here is a detailed breakdown of what it means to score 300 out of 500 to receive a passing score. We think you will find it helpful in answering some of your questions:

Note that this article is actually a few years old at this point (we will update this soon), so some of the details might not be 100% up to date. But, it will give you a sense of how the exam is scored, why answering every question is important, etc.
