there's an old joke about doctors. what do you call the medical
student who graduated with first in their class? Doctor. What do you
call the medical student who graduated last in their class? doctor

the point is no one cares what you scored on the exam. The point is
you passed the exam.  The ICRM does not award the CRM exam designation
until the Part 6 exam has been passed. The notification letter that is
sent if the candidate is successful simply states "Congratulations!
You have passed Part 6."

I would hope that the ACA would consider the same for those who pass
the CA exam. For those who didn't pass knowing your score lets you
know how close you missed passing or not. That helps them know where
to concentrate when taking the exam again.
