Virginia scores are posted on NASBA’s website initially and then sent to the VBOA within 24 to 48 hours. Candidates should allow at least 24 to 48 hours after NASBA releases test scores before re-applying for a failed section.
To retrieve your scores, enter your section ID and date of birth. The section and attendance date will automatically populate. The Score button will retrieve the exam score. Because all scores are not received at once, some candidates may have to wait longer than others before their scores are available.
If you pass an exam section, the credit you earn will have a lifespan of 30 months beginning on the score release date.
