Score Reporting

Credentia will provide you with your official examination results within a few hours after a testing event is completed for the day. Score reports are provided online and are available for you to print or download. Examinations results will not be given over the telephone nor can they be sent by Credentia to your employer.

Failing

If you fail the Written (or Oral) Examination or the Skills Evaluation, your Score Report will provide you with information on how to re-take either or both parts. A new examination fee is required each time you re-take any part of the NNAAP Examination. To re-take either or both parts, you must register online.

State and federal regulations allow you four (4) attempts to pass both the Skills Evaluation and the Written (or Oral) Examination. If you should fail either part or both parts four (4) times, you will be required to successfully complete a state approved training program and re-take both parts.

How to Read a Failing Score Report

If you do not pass the Skills Evaluation, you will receive a Failing Score Report. The score report will list the five (5) skills that you performed and a score of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for each skill. Any skill with an Unsatisfactory result is considered a failed skill. You must receive a Satisfactory result on all five (5) skills in order to pass the Skills Evaluation.

Use your Failing Score Report as an aid in studying to re-take the Skills Evaluation. A failed skill will show the reason for the failure. You may not have performed the steps of a skill correctly, or you may have forgotten a step, especially a Critical Element Step.

The Failing Score Report will list steps that were missed or incorrect—look for numbers printed directly under a skill marked Unsatisfactory. A list of all the skills and the steps needed for each skill can be found in this handbook. Find the skill you failed, and study the steps, especially steps listed as In the example below, a candidate received a result of Unsatisfactory on the skill Hand Hygiene. The numbers 1, 5, and 10 printed below the skill refer to steps that were missed or performed incorrectly. To study for re-taking the Skills Evaluation, this candidate should turn to the Skills Listing in this handbook, look for the Hand Hygiene skill, and review all the steps, especially steps 1, 5, and 10

                               

Passing

Once you have passed both the Written (or Oral) Examination and the Skills Evaluation, your name will be submitted to the OBRA Nursing Assistant Registry. You must contact the Washington State Department of Health to apply for your Nursing Assistant Certificate. See your official passing Score Report for contact information.
