PearsonVue will provide candidates with a “preliminary” grade report for the Florida laws and rules exam immediately following completion of the examination. The National (EPPP) exam vendor will also provide candidates with an “unofficial” score at the test center. Official scores are transmitted to the Board Office on the schedule established by each exam vendor. Upon receipt, the Board’s licensure specialists will review and provide each applicant with formal correspondence regarding next steps based on the exam results. Please note the Board Office is not permitted to release numerical scores or score reports to applicants or any other entity.

Your Eligibility ID number is your social security number without any dashes or spaces.

You may schedule the exams after your application is administratively complete and it has been determined that you meet the requirements for licensure. Some applications require individual review by the Board. If this is the case this review must take place before you may schedule the exams.

Submit a written request to the board office to have your name changed, along with a copy of your driver’s license or other official documentation showing your correct name. Staff will make the needed changes and provide the corrected information to the testing vendor.

Once your application file is complete and you have been approved by the Board, you have 24 months from the date of your Board approval letter to complete all requirements for licensure, including the exam(s).

The order in which you take your exams in is entirely at your discretion.

Once we receive your official score report, we will send you a re-exam application with instructions.
