Mailing of Scores:
Examination scores will be mailed to you within 10 working days after you have taken the examination provided all official transcripts verifying the appropriate degree have been received.
Note: Examination results cannot be released by telephone, fax or e-mail to anyone. DO NOT submit a new application fee to retake the test prior to receiving your examination scores.
Score Report:
It is important that you retain the examination score report as this report will be the only document from the Board of Certification that will contain your Certification Number.
Re-examination:
If you are unsuccessful in passing the examination, information on re-testing will be enclosed with your examination scores. DO NOT submit an application fee to retake the examination until you receive your examination scores by mail.
Maximum Number of Examination Attempts: You are permitted to take the examination in any one particular category a total of five times under one route. If you are unsuccessful after five attempts, you are ineligible for further examination in that category under the same route.
Release of Scores to Program Officials:
If you completed a NAACLS or CAAHEP accredited program, your examination scores will be released to the officials of the program in which you were enrolled unless you instruct the ASCP Board of Certification by certified mail, no later than 10 days before your examination administration, to withhold such scores. Requests received after this time cannot be honored. Mail your request via certified mail to: ASCP Board of Certification, Certification Activities, 33 West Monroe Street, Suite 1600, Chicago, IL 60603.
Request for Examination Scores Mailed to a Third Party:
Requests for copies of examination scores mailed to a third party, such as a State licensing board or employer, must be submitted by the examinee in writing at the time of application and include the following information: full name, certification category, date of examination, name and address of third party, and signature. Requests received without a signature, via e-mail, fax or by anyone other than the certified individual, will not be honored. There is no charge for this one-time release of examination scores sent immediately upon successful completion of the examination.
