Score Reports

AOBEM has established a pre-determined pass rate and examination scores are not curved in any way dependent upon candidate performance on any examination administration.

For the computer-based Certification Examination Part I, candidates will receive an official copy of their score reports from the AOBEM by mail. The candidate score report will provide a 3-digit total score, and a pass/fail designation.  Passing the AOBEM Certification Examination Part I is based upon an examinee’s performance on the total exam, not on the performance of each topic.  However, candidates will be provided with a graphic performance profile according to the AOBEM content categories. The Performance Profile provides information on an examinee’s performance on each topic in comparison with others who take the same exam.  The examinee may use the profile to assess areas of strengths and weaknesses.

Individual score reports will typically be reported to candidates within four to six weeks of their examination date.
