You must wait 31 calendar days before retaking a test or subtest; otherwise, the score for the retake will be invalidated and no score report will be issued. This rule applies to both computer-based and paper-based tests.
After a score verification session, you must wait 31 calendar days before retaking the same examination or a subtest of an examination that you have verified; otherwise, the score for the retake will be invalidated and no score report will be issued. This rule applies to computer-based tests and paper-based tests.
If an examinee is found to be engaged in cheating behavior, scores will be invalidated. For tests with essays, cheating behavior includes writing a pre-prepared, memorized essay. The test directions state that the essay must be a completely original essay composed during the test and that the essay must respond directly and completely to the topic selected. Please review the information that comes with your admission ticket (and is also displayed during the registration process if you register online) for important details on cheating, prohibited aids, and calculators.
If after taking the FTCE or FELE you do not want your test scores reported, you may cancel your scores by filling out a Score Cancellation Form at the test site. This form must be completed and submitted before you leave the test site.
If you request that your scores be canceled, your test performance will not be reported to you, to the DOE, or to any institution. Your scores will not be entered into any FTCE/FELE records; therefore, after the cancellation of your scores, you will not be able to have your scores reported for any purpose.
