Only say sorry, and never gave me any explanation.Really unreliable.Additionally, I was not comfortable with the situation during the exam.Their staff was constantly coming in and out of the testing room due to system issues, talking to some candidates, and talking on the phone about system issues.On and 11 of their Candidate Handbook, Section of "Misconduct"Their staff was the only one create a disturbance.It's been almost 2 weeks since I took the exam, and they still have not given me anything which they obligate to provide.Maybe I should contact my attorney this week for legal action. I have already contacted our back-office team again to check on your score report. " We really apologize for the inconvenience we are doing our best to send your score report. The passing standard is represented by a scaled score of 700 for Foundational-level exams, 720 for Associate-level exams, and 750 for Professional-level and Specialty exams.I am extremely frustrated and speechless by these unprofessional, unreliable, and untrustworthy people of PSI.I took a ******* Salesperson Exam on April 4th, Tuesday at 1:00pm, and finished around 4:00pm at LOCATION 1: ********** (***********************************************************), Seat# **.According to their Candidate Handbook, I was supposed to get my result with either "Certification of Accuracy Statement" or "Score Report (will indicate results, including the number correct in each content area)" immediately following my Exam.However, the staff told me that they could not print out anything due to technical problem, so I have to contact PSI to get my results.I sent an email to PSI 3 times and warned them on the 3rd email that I will contact my attorney for legal action and report to the Commission and the ****************.PSI's response ware: "I have sent an email to our score report team to ask for an update in regards to your score report that you do not receive.Once we have an update we will let you know as soon as possible." "I will be reaching out to our score report team again to check on your score report. The passing standard reported for scaled scores always will remain the same. This ensures that two scores have the same interpretation regardless of the form the candidate took. The equated score is then converted to a scale score (in much the same way you can convert between scales such as Fahrenheit and Celsius) for presentation to the candidate. For example, correctly answering seven out of 10 easy questions does not indicate the same level of knowledge as correctly answering seven out of 10 difficult questions. As the separate exam forms may vary slightly in difficulty due to the fact they consist of different questions, the forms are statistically equated to ensure all candidates are held to the same standard of competency. AWS uses multiple exam forms to replace questions as needed and to preserve the security of the exams. Scaled scores allow for consistent interpretation of scores across multiple exam forms. Scores for the AWS Certification exams are reported as scaled scores, rather than the raw number of questions scored correct. This statistical process evaluates each question on the test forms and determines if an adjustment to the passing standard is needed due to the differential difficulty of the questions making up the test form. This method uses the average of these ratings across the panel of experts, after significant discussion and multiple rounds of ratings to achieve consensus, to ultimately derive the minimum raw passing standard.įollowing the determination of the passing standard on the initial test form, the number of questions candidates need to answer correctly to pass all other test forms is determined through a statistical process known as equating. A criterion-referenced passing standard is determined on the initial test form using a process known as the modified Angoff technique, in which a panel of content experts estimate the difficulty of each question in relation to the minimally qualified candidate.
