The ABR uses criterion-referenced scoring on all its computer-based exams. To learn more about this method and how it differs from norm-referenced scoring, please visit our Exam Scoring Model page.
The pass/fail results for the Part 1 exam are posted in each candidate’s myABR account approximately one month after the last day of the exams. Candidates will receive an email when results have been posted.
During this time period, please do not request scores by email, fax, or any other method. Candidates who have not received their results within one month after the exam may contact the ABR office.
