Your test scores will be reported to you and the CTC. Your score report will be mailed on the score report date published in "Test Dates."

Your score report is for your information and personal records. Keep the original for your permanent records. Although your scores are reported directly to the CTC, you should submit a photocopy of your score report along with your credential application. Your scores are used by the CTC solely for credentialing purposes.

Under some circumstances, scores may be delayed. For example:

• Scores for newly developed or redeveloped tests may be delayed in order to set passing scores. Such delays are noted on the schedule published in "Test Dates."
  
• Some individuals’ scores may be delayed due to problems with registration or other matters.
  

In addition, your scores will be delayed if there are problems with your payment, and your scores will be permanently voided if your account is not paid in full and cleared by 30 calendar days after the test date. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for more information.

Internet Posting of Unofficial Scores

Unofficial scores will be available on the Internet by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the score report dates listed in "Test Dates." For each test date, unofficial scores will be available on the Internet for approximately two weeks. For security reasons, unofficial scores may be viewed only once on the Internet during the posting period.

Unofficial scores are available to you on the Internet regardless of your registration method. However, you must provide your date of birth when you register in order to be able to retrieve your unofficial scores. If you register on the Internet, you may also request to have your unofficial scores sent to you by e-mail.

To access your unofficial scores on the Internet, select "Score Reporting" on the CTEL Web site and follow the instructions provided. You will be required to provide your CTEL identification number, which is found on your admission ticket and/or e-mail registration confirmation, and your date of birth. Your CTEL identification number is unique. For security reasons it cannot be reissued or provided to you upon request by telephone or e-mail.

Scores are available on the Internet and by e-mail solely to provide you with preliminary, unofficial notification of your passing status as quickly as possible. Unofficial scores sent by e-mail or posted on the Internet are not acceptable substitutes for an official score report.

Official Examinee Score Reports

Your official score report will be mailed to you by U.S. mail on the score report date published in "Test Dates." Your score report will be sent to the address that you provided during the registration process. If you wish to have your score report sent to a different address, you may complete a Registration Information Correction Form at the test site on the day of the test.

For each test you took, your score report provides information about your passing status and other performance information. See "CTEL Examination Passing Requirements" for detailed information on the passing requirements for CTEL Examination subtests.

Your score report is accompanied by an explanation of how to read your score report. A score report explanation is also available by selecting "Score Reporting" on the CTEL Web site.

If you have not received your score report two weeks after the score report date, call NES at (916) 928-4002. Under no circumstances will your official score report information be released in person or by telephone, fax, or e-mail.
