The National Board is extremely concerned in maintaining 100% accuracy in scoring its examinations. This concern has led to the creation of numerous verification and quality control procedures to ensure that candidates' scores accurately reflect the responses recorded on their answer sheets. It is therefore highly unlikely that any scoring errors occur. However, candidates have the prerogative to request a hand verification and re-scoring of their answer sheets. This process consists of assuring that each answer sheet was scanned (i.e., entered) correctly, and that the scoring, scaling, and pass-fail decisions were accurate. This process does not include any interpretation of a candidate's intended responses, or any comparison between an answer sheet and other documents, such as the test booklet.

All requests for a hand verification must emanate from the candidate using the Online Handscore Form and be received by the National Board within 30 days of the corresponding score release date. Requests for hand verification that are received after the 30-day period will not be honored. Candidates should be aware that hand verification is an additional service that requires a substantial amount of staff time to conduct, and candidates requesting this service are required to remit an additional fee. See section on Fees for information regarding this service.

! Important !
Special information for candidates who wish to have their answer sheets hand verified.
