obtaining your test results
requesting a rescore

Answer documents for multiple-choice questions are scored by computer using a process that is virtually error free. However, if you believe that an error has been made, you may request a rescore of your multiple-choice answer document.

All written responses for the Basic Skills, APT, and LBS II tests are scored according to standardized procedures. Scorers with relevant professional backgrounds are oriented to these procedures and are carefully monitored during scoring sessions. As part of the scoring process, written responses are scored by multiple scorers. However, as with the multiple-choice questions, if you wish to have your written response(s) for the Basic Skills test, an APT test, or an LBS II test reevaluated, you may request a rescore of these tests.

A request for rescoring must be made in writing and must include your name and the test date and indicate the test(s) you want rescored. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for information about the rescoring fee. Payment for rescoring must be made by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order. Your written request and the correct payment must be mailed to Evaluation Systems and postmarked within three months of the score report date.

In the event that the rescoring process results in a score alteration, you will be issued a corrected score report, the rescoring fee will be refunded, and your records will be updated. If the original score is confirmed, you will be sent a letter indicating that the score has been confirmed. In this case, your rescoring fee will not be refunded.

All written and oral responses for the foreign language content-area tests and the language proficiency tests are scored according to standardized procedures. Scorers with relevant professional backgrounds are oriented to these procedures and are carefully monitored during scoring sessions. As part of the scoring process, responses are scored by multiple scorers. Scorer consensus is attained for the scores assigned to all examinee responses, with focus on the scoring procedures and scoring scale that the facilitators provide. All written and oral responses for the foreign language content-area tests and the language proficiency tests are automatically rescored; therefore, there is no rescoring service for these responses.
