Attention: If you are taking your exam during the month of June 2026, you will not receive immediate results upon completion of your exam. We have recently completed a periodic Job Analysis resulting in updates to our exam content outline to reflect current best practices. To ensure that all candidates are scored equitably and meet the same high standards as all previous candidates, this requires an additional statistical review after the exam window is complete. Your score will be sent out by July 30, 2026.
