What is the typical exam timeline?
Applicants are notified by May 15 whether their credentials are accepted. Candidates must then register for the certification exam by September 1. Exams are given the first or second weekend in November. Test scores must be posted online within 45 days. The Council of Regents meets before then to determine the passing point. Letters go out soon after the posting of scores online to officially notify examinees whether they passed or failed. Candidates who pass the exam are immediately granted Diplomate status.
