Appeal

Multiple choice exams are carefully constructed to ensure that each question is accurately scored. Exam questions are also reviewed after administration to ensure that there are no errors in the scoring. If a candidate believes that an exam is erroneously scored, they can request a rescore for a fee of $50 which will consist of a manual recount of the candidate’s answers, but it is unlikely to produce a changed result.
