Exam Scoring: The
Board receives and releases scores in two waves as received. Candidates who test in the first part of a testing
window may qualify for earlier receipt of scores, depending on the
examination content administered to them, the examination volume and the
distribution of examinees within the testing window. Given these factors, it
is impossible to tell in advance which candidates and how many will qualify
for early score receipt.
Therefore, please note that candidates who test on the same day may receive
scores at different times due to differences in necessary quality control
procedures.
