Select any step to learn more about your PASL assessment journey.

 

Understanding Your PASL Scores

Your PASL score report contains valuable information about your performance, including:

  • a summary page indicating your score for each task and your cumulative score for the assessment
  • a detail page for each task indicating scores for each step within a task and feedback for each step score

See a Sample Test-taker Score Report (PDF).

 

Passing scores

Each state and licensing organization determines its own passing requirements for the PASL assessment. If a state agency hasn’t established a passing requirement, individual educator preparation programs (EPPs) may determine this requirement.

If your state or educator preparation program isn’t listed below, contact your EPP.

Reviewing feedback for step scores

Each task of the assessment contains multiple steps. Your score report includes general feedback for each step score within a task to help you improve the quality of your evidence in your step responses, and help you determine if you want to resubmit a task.

Steps with a score of 0

A step score of 0 will be applied for any of the following:

  • The written commentary for a step is missing or doesn’t address the activity and guiding prompts of that step.
  • The required artifacts are missing or illegible. Links to artifacts on a third-party site aren’t acceptable. A step that requires multiple artifacts needs to have at least one artifact attached to the step to be scoreable.
  • The artifact linked to the written commentary for the step fails to provide the required evidence.
  • The required video is missing or you edited a video segment.

Resubmission

After you receive your score, there are two resubmission windows for your registration. If your assessment score falls below the passing score, you’re eligible to resubmit any or all three tasks for a fee. See Resubmitting Your Tasks.

 

What to do if you didn't pass

If you didn’t pass the assessment during the original submission window or the resubmission window, you’ll need to retake the assessment in a future submission window. Consult your EPP for guidance on how to move forward.
