Score review is not available for any other exam because of the quality-control measures in place to ensure accurate scoring of selected-response items.

The score review fee is $55 per TExES or PACT exam (constructed-responses only; see above), and $75 per TASC or TASC–ASL exam. Payment must be made by a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN).

A request for a score review can be submitted online using the Score Review Request Form. Only the aforementioned exam sections are eligible for score reviews. Your request must be submitted within 90 calendar days of the exam date, and you may not request more than one score review per exam appointment.

The results of the score review process will be available within six weeks after receipt of your request and payment for the Braille, TASC, and TASC–ASL exams and within four weeks for other eligible exams.

  • In the event that the score review process results in a change in your score and your passing status, you will be notified, the score review fee will be refunded, and an updated score report will be posted to your testing account and transmitted to TEA.
  • In the event that the score review process results in a change to your score but not to your passing status, you will be notified, the score review fee will not be refunded, and an updated score report will be posted to your testing account and transmitted to TEA.
  • If your original score is confirmed, you will be notified and your fee will not be refunded.
  • All score review decisions are final.

Requesting a Score Confirmation

edTPA Scoring Process

All edTPA assessments are scored according to standardized procedures by qualified scorers. Scorers include teacher educators and qualified teachers and administrators who are recruited and selected because of their subject-matter knowledge and documented experience teaching and supporting beginning teachers. Each scorer participates in rigorous training to become qualified as an edTPA scorer. The scorers are carefully monitored during scoring activities to maintain high quality and consistency in scoring across portfolios.

Score Confirmation Service

If you believe your score on one or more rubrics was reported in error, you may request a score confirmation. There is a fee for this service. The score confirmation process will take place within 60 calendar days of the receipt of the request. You will be mailed the results of the score confirmation:

  • If the score confirmation process results in a score alteration (either higher or lower than originally reported), you will be issued a corrected Score Profile, the score confirmation fee will be refunded, and your records will be updated.
  • If the original score is confirmed as a result of the score confirmation process, you will be sent a letter indicating that your score has been confirmed, and the score confirmation fee will not be refunded.
  • Please note that only one score confirmation request is permitted per submission and requests received after the initial score confirmation request will not be honored.

Note: Score confirmation can be requested only when a numeric score has been assigned to all rubrics. If your edTPA materials do not meet the edTPA Submission Requirements, your Score Profile will include an associated Condition Code on one or more rubrics. A Condition Code on your Score Profile indicates that the designated rubric(s) are unscorable (because of problems with submitted materials) and therefore not eligible for score confirmation.

Requesting a Score Confirmation

A request to confirm your assessment score can be submitted online using the Score Confirmation Request Form. You must submit your request for this service within 60 calendar days of the score reporting date. The score confirmation service fee is $200 and must be paid using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN).
