If you have registered online, you can request that the scores be sent to you by email. In such a case the report is sent as a PDF attachment to the email address you have provided between 5.00 pm and 10.00 pm on the day the results are declared.
If you have registered over phone or by U.S. Mail service, you will receive the report by U.S. Mail at the address you have specified while registering for the test.
What is the passing score in the test?
Your performance is evaluated against a set standard and not against the performance of other examinees. The scores you obtain are converted to scaled scores and the results are declared in the range of 100 to 300 with 220 being the passing score. For the Basic Skills Test, you must pass all the three subtests to obtain the credential. However, you can pass each subtest separately and once you have passed a subtest, you need not reappear for it.
What does the score report contain?
The numeric scores are disclosed only when you have not passed the test. If you have passed the test only the passing status is declared.
Your performance in each sub-area is reported in the results. With this information, you can concentrate more on the areas you have under-performed.
Your performance in the sub-areas is reported as follows:
- (++++)- In case of multiple-choice questions, this result means that you have answered most of the questions correctly and in case of the performance-assignment type questions, it means that your answer shows strong skills.
- (+++)- This indicates that you have answered many of the questions correctly in the multiple-choice questions category and that you exhibit satisfactory skills in the performance-assignment type questions.
- (++)- This indicates that you have answered some of the multiple-choice questions correctly and your answer in the performance-assignment type question shows that you possess limited skills in that area.
- (+)- If you have answered only a few or none of the multiple-choice questions correctly and your answer to the performance-assignment type question lacks skills, you will be awarded this scale.
