The percentage of games that receive certification from an ITL on the first submission of a product.

• A. First pass percentage
• B. First submission yield
• C. Primary certification rate
• D. Initial certification rate

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is measuring how often a product goes through the certification process and comes back as approved on the very first attempt. This first-pass success rate shows how well submissions align with what the IT lab expects, reflecting submission quality and readiness. It’s calculated by taking the number of products that are certified on the initial submission and dividing by the total number of submissions, then expressing that as a percentage. This direct focus on the initial evaluation makes “first pass percentage” the clearest, most standard way to describe the metric. While similar terms like “first submission yield” can convey a related idea, they are not as precise or widely used for this exact measure. Terms like “primary” or “initial” certification rate are less common and can imply different concepts or stages beyond the first pass.
