School Score Reports
ABGC provides school score reports for all ACGC accredited programs. With the recent switch of test vendors, the process has changed. All identified program directors will receive an email after the end of each exam window, to confirm the list of candidates that have been identified as a graduate of that program.
ABGC Headquarters staff will be asking for confirmation from each program, if there are any corrections needed, ABGC will work with Prometric on those. After all corrections are made, Prometric will provide ABGC staff with all school score reports for distribution. We are anticipating that we can deliver the school score reports within 30 days after the close of each window.
This is a change from previous years, as there is no longer a portal for that information. ABGC will maintain historical copies of each school score report beginning with the Aug.-Dec. 2023 exam administration.
Each program will receive a program summary report based on the domain and subdomain level performance along with the candidate roster report. They will be delivered via email in a PDF format from the ABGC Headquarters office.
