An exam grievance will not challenge the design or content of an examination nor overturn a failing score. There is a fee for this service. Candidates that are offered free retakes will be refunded their grievance fee.
Test Disclosure
Candidates should be aware that IC&RC exam security and item banking procedures do not permit candidates access to exam questions, answer keys, or other secure materials related to the examination. Candidates that have questions or comments about a specific examination question should request a Comment Form from their examination proctor during a paper and pencil exam or click the Comment On This Question button for CBT exams. Candidate comments will be reviewed by IC&RC for consideration. Candidates will not be contacted regarding their comments.
RetakesTo schedule a retake and clarify the mandatory waiting period, candidates should contact their local IC&RC Member Board. Contact information for all IC&RC Member Boards can be found at http://www.internationalcredentialing.org/memberboards.
