Score Reporting
Test results will not be given over the telephone, nor can they be sent by Credentia to your employer.
Failing Score
- If you fail the Written (or Oral) Examination or the Skills Evaluation, your Score Report will tell you how to retake either or both parts.
- If you fail either part of the NNAAP® Examination three (3) times, you will need to complete either a remedial course or new program depending on your program completion date, and retake only the examination you failed. See Registration and Scheduling your exam for more.
How to Read a Failing Score Report
If you don’t pass the Skills Evaluation, you’ll get a Failing Score Report. The score report will list the five (5) skills that you performed and a score of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for each skill. Any skill with an Unsatisfactory result is considered a failed skill. You need a Satisfactory result on all five (5) skills to pass the Skills Evaluation.
| Note: Use your Failing Score Report to help you study for when you retake the Skills Evaluation. A failed skill will show the reason for the failure, and you can use this information to make sure you do this the skill correctly when you retake it. Find the skill you failed, and study the steps, especially steps listed as Unsatisfactory on the score report. |
In the example below, a candidate got an Unsatisfactory on the skill Hand Hygiene. The numbers 1, 5 and 10 printed below the skill refer to steps that were missed or performed incorrectly. To study for retaking the Skills Evaluation, you should turn to the Skills Listing in this handbook, look for the Hand Hygiene skill, and review all the steps, especially steps 1, 5 and 10.
