Your test scores are reported to you and to any institution that you indicated as a score recipient when you registered. Your scores are also reported directly to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Office of Certification, and are automatically added to your certification application file. Your score report is for your records only; do not submit it with your application for certification.

Withdrawal/Refund Policy

If after registering for a test you wish to withdraw your registration, you may do so according to the following procedure:

If you have not yet scheduled your test: Submit a withdrawal request through your account.

If you have already scheduled your test:

1. First, cancel your test appointment at least 24 hours before your scheduled testing time. To cancel your appointment, log in to your account, click "Reschedule," and follow the instructions provided.
2. After cancelling your test appointment, submit a withdrawal request through your account.

If you withdraw your registration before you have scheduled your test appointment or if you cancel your test appointment at least 24 hours before your scheduled testing time and then withdraw your registration, you will receive a full refund of your test fee. In most cases, your refund will be issued by Evaluation Systems within one week of your request; however, some requests may take additional time to resolve.

If you selected multiple subtests when you registered and wish to withdraw from any of the subtests selected, you must withdraw your entire registration and submit a new registration with a new test selection. Once one subtest associated with a registration has been attempted, you may not withdraw any of the other subtests within the same registration.

If you are absent from the test, you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind.

Your registration is valid for one year from the date of issue. If you do not schedule a test appointment and take your test within one year, or withdraw your registration within one year, your registration will expire and you will receive no refund or credit of any kind.

Duration of Payment Validity

After payment, your registration will be valid for one year. If you do not take the test or withdraw your registration within that period, your registration will expire and you will receive no refund or credit of any kind.

Payment Processing

If you register to take the same test on multiple test dates and pass the test on the first test date, you will not be issued a refund for your additional registrations on the basis of your passing performance.

If you have any outstanding balance owed by you to Evaluation Systems after a test appointment for which you were registered, all of your scores for that test date may be permanently voided and therefore not reported to you; to the PESB; to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Office of Certification; or to any institutions.

The following policies apply to you when you have an outstanding balance with Evaluation Systems:

• You will be assessed a $20 fee to cover the processing required to clear your account.
• You will not be allowed to register for future test appointments until your balance, which includes the additional fee, is paid in full.

• You may not be allowed to make any future payments by credit card.
• You must make your payment to clear your account by cashier's check or money order only.
• If you attempt to pay for any further services by cashier's check or money order before clearing your account, any payments received will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess applied to the requested services.

Additionally, if a personal check submitted by you is returned by the bank:

• You will not be allowed to make any future payments by personal check.
• You must make your payment to clear your account by cashier's check or money order only, unless you are making a subsequent credit card payment for additional services, in which case your credit card will be billed for both the outstanding balance and the additional requested services.
• If you attempt to pay for any further services by credit card before clearing your account, your credit card will be billed for the amount of all services you have requested, as well as the outstanding balance owed. You agree to pay for all such services and outstanding balances in the event your credit card company does not.
• If you attempt to pay for any further services by cashier's check or money order before clearing your account, any payments received will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess applied to the requested services.
