Exam Scores

[Warren Schmidt]

For the upper level CAS Exams (Exams 5-9), does the CAS not tell you what exact score you got or give you your scoring percentile breakdown for each problem, if you passed? I passed Exam 5 in the spring, and all I got was a stub indicating that I passed....not my actual score or my scoring breakdown for each problem, like I did get when I failed the exam the time before....

Correct. You only receive a numeric score if you fail.

For Exams 3, 5-9, and transitional VEE exams, passing candidates are informed that they passed the examination, but they are not given a numeric score. Candidates with scores of 0 to 5 are informed of the score. Several weeks later, a list of the names of all passing candidates is posted online.

Yeah, a lot of people here seem to like getting the score breakdowns, so they'll take a couple of 4's and 5's before taking their PASS and moving on.

It's like poll vaulting, you either clear it or you don't.
