Test Results:
Beginning in 2016, all exam results are posted within the personal profile of the participant. Participants are encouraged to visit the personal profile frequently to review their status of annual renewal as well as their academic transcript. For exam results, go to the "Clerk Certification" tab and scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see your exam status posted in the grid. For passing exam results, the notation will read: "PASSING".
When a participant has not successfully passed an exam, the note will include the part that was not successfully completed. For example, if parts A & B were passed and part C was not successfully completed, the notation will read: "UNS-Study Part C"

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY TEST RESULTS?
TMCEC is acutely aware at our participants excitement in receiving results, therefore we make every effort to complete the grading process as quickly as possible within 45 days. After your test(s) has been graded, TMCEC staff will enter your results into your personal profile under the certification tab. A participant must receive a 70% or higher on each part of the exam. Raw scores are not available, therefore only a pass/fail result is recorded. The best way to follow your exam results is by logging into your profile each day, however an email confirmation will be sent to let you know when your results are posted to your profile. The final result will be displayed as either "Passed" or "UNS - Unsuccessful". In the event the participant is not successful on an exam, indicators are noted for areas needing further study in the profile that read "Study Part B/C".
Exam Expiration Dates:
- Level 1 exams expire 3 years after the testing date
- Level 2 exams expire 3 years after the testing date
