REQUESTING A RESCORE
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 rescore of your multiple-choice answer document.

A request for rescoring must be made in writing and must include your name, your social security number, the test date, and the test name and code. See “Test Fees and Payment Policies” for information about the rescoring fee. Payment for rescoring 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 one year of the score report date.

In the event that the rescoring process results in a score alteration, you will be issued a corrected score report, the rescoring 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 rescoring fee will not be refunded.

All written and oral 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 and oral responses are scored by multiple scorers and therefore have essentially already been rescored. Consequently, there is no rescoring service for written and oral responses.
