CANCELING OR VOIDING OF TEST SCORES

Canceling Your Test Scores

If after taking the RICA Written Examination you do not want your test scores reported, you may cancel your scores. Evaluation Systems will cancel your scores upon receipt of

• a completed Score Cancellation Form (available at the test site); or
• a written request (include your name, your signature, the last five digits of your social security number, your RICA identification number, your date of birth, and the test date).

Your cancellation request must be received at Evaluation Systems within seven days of the date on which you took the test. If you choose to cancel your scores, you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind.

If you request that your scores be canceled, your test performance will not be reported to you, to the CTC, or to any institution. Your scores will not be entered into any RICA records; therefore, after the cancellation of your scores, you will not be able to have your scores reported for any purpose.

You may not cancel the scoring or the score reporting of your RICA Video Performance Assessment once you have submitted your video recordings and related documentation.

Voiding of Test Scores by the CTC or Evaluation Systems

If you violate any of the Rules of Participation in the RICA or if doubts are raised about the validity or legitimacy of your registration, your submitted Video Performance Assessment video packets (if applicable), or your scores, Evaluation Systems will notify the CTC and other parties as deemed appropriate by the CTC.

Evaluation Systems takes reasonable security precautions in developing and administering the RICA and in processing test scores. The CTC and Evaluation Systems reserve the right to void your scores if in their sole opinion there is adequate reason to question your scores' validity or legitimacy, due to misconduct (including, but not limited to, a violation of the rules set forth in the current registration bulletin, including the Rules of Participation in the RICA, and the rules communicated to you, orally or in writing, at the test administration) or to circumstances within or beyond your control.

Further action may be taken, including denying, revoking, and/or suspending any teaching or services credential. Other actions, as described in Rule 1 of the Rules of Participation in the RICA, may be taken as deemed appropriate by the CTC and/or Evaluation Systems.
