Do Cut Scores Vary State By State?

[Anthony]

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether cut scores vary state by state? Would a state board consider a lower cut score as opposed to the people who receive results straight from NCEES? I'm trying to figure out why my results need to go through my board (Iowa) first.

I don't think so. Otherwise how can they allow you to transfer license.

Good pont. I guess we're looking at approximately a straight 70% to pass.

most states have their boards bylaws written so that they can adopt the scores from NCEES or set their own. I have NOT heard of any case where a state did not adopt NCEES's scores as pass/fail.

I'd say the reason given above is a good one for that

Some states like to gut you for more money with your passing letter. I am not sure if Iowa does this.

Also being from Iowa, I think it is very frustrating that South Carolina found out on December 15, and we're still waiting, almost 3 weeks later. According to the Executive Secretary at the Board, they received results from EES on December 24. I was reassured that, since it is their busiest time of the year, they would be trying very hard to get all the data entered into the system. They would begin this process on Monday, December 31, a whole week after they received results. Boy, am I sure glad they're doing everything they can to let us know our results ASAP.

I'm in California and I feel like the wait has just begun... I'm not expecting anything for a month. So count your blessings! Hope you get good news.

Well, I am waiting with you. I am waiting for SE results in Illinois.
