Examination Results
Examination results will be available on the Software
Certification's
Customer Portal when the grading is complete, so there is no
need to contact Software Certifications regarding the results
status as you will receive notification via email when results
are posted. To view your results simply login to the Portal and
go to the My Examination page and click on the View Results
link. The passing mark is 75% which is the average score of all
parts.
Note: Once your online results are
available, you will not receive your certificate for those
passing for possibly another 6 to 8 weeks. Please be patient and
if nothing is received 6 weeks after your results were announced
then feel free to contact us at
certify@softwarecertifications.org, but NOT until then.
A certificate will be sent regular mail via the United States
Postal Service using the default address in the Portal so it is
critical that candidates keep their Portal records up to date as
once mailed they are not traceable. Now even the smallest error
or omission of information can cause serious delays in receipt
or non delivery so make sure the address is complete and
correct. Many candidates change their residence or job
situations during their certification candidacy. If any such
changes occur, it is the candidate's responsibility to change
their My Profile information in the Software Certification's
Portal.
The processing of examination results will depend on how the
examination was scheduled.
Prometric Examinations

will typically receive your results in 6 weeks:
* 4 weeks of grading by multiple reviewers
* 1 week for data processing
* 1 week of statistical analysis and establishment of cut-scores
Sponsored Site Examinations
If you took your examination at a Sponsored testing center, you
will typically receive your results in 8 weeks:
* 2 weeks for collection at the administration center from
examination sites around the world
* 4 weeks of grading by multiple reviewers
* 1 week for data processing
* 1 week of statistical analysis and establishment of
cut-scores.
Examination papers are not returned to the candidates.
The examination process is not a diagnostic tool.
Specific discussion concerning an individual's exam results is
prohibited by the policies and practices of the Software
Certifications. Original exam papers are destroyed one year
after the exam date.
Candidates who do not pass the examination will need to retake
the examination as long as their application has not yet
expired** by either reaching the expiration date or their three
attempts.
** Note: Make sure you know exactly
when your expiration date is as although your application may
still be active when the Retake payment is made, that does not
guarantee you will be able to reschedule your exam for a future
date as it may be after your application expiration date. If you
are not sure contact
certify@softwarecertifications.org before proceeding as once
funds are processed they are NOT refundable or transferable (Payment
Policy).
