How to get your score

Approximately five business days after your eligibility period ends, FSBPT will transmit your score to the licensing authority to which you applied for licensure. At that time you will be able to view your pass/fail status by logging in to your Dashboard

FSBPT provides a free score report to candidates for a period of time after each fixed-date administration. The free score reports will be available from the Reports section of your Dashboard approximately 10 business days after each administration and will remain accessible for 30 days.

Some scores may be held by FSBPT for additional validation prior to release. FSBPT may ask for you to provide additional information about your exam experience as part of the score validation process. If FSBPT requests additional information your score will be held until that information is provided and FSBPT has completed the score validation process. ALL SCORES are subject to validation prior to being released and FSBPT is the sole authority on whether a score is released to any entity. More information.
