Release of Your Test Scores

Your test scores will be reported to you, the Virginia Department of Education, and the institution that you indicated when you registered. Your score report will be mailed on the score report date published in "Test Dates."

Your scores are reported directly to the Virginia Department of Education. Please submit a copy with your application for licensure. Keep a copy for your permanent records.

Under some circumstances, scores may not be available on the score report date. For example:
  • Scores for newly developed or redeveloped tests may be delayed in order to set passing standards. Such delays are noted in "Test Dates."
  • Some individuals’ scores may be delayed due to problems with registration or other matters.
In addition, your scores will be delayed if there are problems with your payment, and your scores will be permanently voided if your account is not paid in full and cleared by 14 calendar days after the test date. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for more information.
Internet Posting of Unofficial Scores

Unofficial scores for VCLA computer-based testing will be available on the Internet within 10 business days of your test date. Unofficial scores for paper-based testing will be available on the Internet at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the score report dates listed in "Test Dates." For each test date, unofficial scores will be available on the Internet for approximately two weeks. For security reasons, unofficial scores may be viewed only once on the Internet during the posting period.

Unofficial scores are available to you on the Internet regardless of your registration method. However, you must provide your date of birth when you register in order to be able to retrieve your unofficial scores. If you register on the Internet, you also may request that your unofficial scores be sent to you by e-mail.

To access your unofficial scores on the Internet, select "Score Reporting" on the VCLA and VRA Web site and follow the instructions provided. You will be required to provide your date of birth and your examinee identification number, which is found on your authorization to test (for computer-based testing) or on your admission ticket and/or e-mail registration confirmation (for paper-based testing).

Scores are available on the Internet and by e-mail solely to provide you with preliminary, unofficial notification of your passing status as quickly as possible. Unofficial scores sent by e-mail or posted on the Internet are not acceptable substitutes for an official score report.

Official Examinee Score Reports

If you took the VCLA on computer, your official score report will be sent to you by U.S. mail within 10 business days of your test date. For VCLA and VRA paper-based testing, your official score report will be sent to you by U.S. mail on the score report date published in "Test Dates." Your score report will be sent to the address that you provided during the registration process. If you wish to have your score report sent to a different address, you may request a change to your address by calling Evaluation Systems before the test (for computer-based testing) or completing a Registration Information Correction Form at the test site on the day of the test (for paper-based testing).

For each test you took, your score report provides information about your passing status and other performance information. See "VCLA and VRA Passing Requirements" for detailed information on the passing requirements for the VCLA and VRA tests.

Your score report is accompanied by an explanation of how to read your score report. A score report explanation is also available by selecting "Score Reporting" on the VCLA and VRA Web site.

If you have not received your score report two weeks after the score report date, call (866) 613-3292 or (413) 256-2888. Under no circumstances will your official score report information be released in person or by telephone, fax, or e-mail.
