Score reports for computer-based exams are typically posted for viewing within 5-7 weeks following the complete administration of an examination.

The use of scaled scores allows for direct comparison of scores from one examination administration to another because the passing standard is always the same -- a scaled score of 300.

Candidates seeking optometric licensure must receive a passing score on each of the NBEO entry-into-the-profession examinations in the first six attempts of each exam.

For the NBEO^® Part I, II, and III examinations a total raw score is computed and then converted to a scaled score ranging from 100 to 900. A score of 100 represents the lowest scaled score, while 900 represents the highest possible scaled score. A score of 300 represents the overall pass-fail cutoff score.
