Score Requirements

The minimum score requirements are determined by the test provider.  Scores are typically available the same day for computer-based testing.  Paper-based test scores are typically available within 10 days.  Certificates are issued approximately three business days after the final computer-based test and approximately 14 days after the final paper-based test. TEA will email the initial certificate in a PDF file to the email address used to register for the exams.  Individuals cannot combine scores from a previous test series or different test series. Incomplete scores from tests taken prior to January 1, 2014, are no longer valid.
