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 score verification of your multiple-choice answer document.
A request for score verification must be made in writing and must include your name and the test date and indicate the subtest(s) for which you want your multiple-choice answer document(s) verified. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for information about the score verification fee. Payment for score verification must be made by cashier’s check or money order only. Your written request and the correct payment must be mailed to NES and postmarked within three months of the score report date.
In the event that the score verification process results in a score alteration, you will be issued a corrected score report, the score verification 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 score verification fee will not be refunded.
All written responses 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 and therefore have essentially already been rescored. Consequently, there is no score verification service for written responses.
