Rescores

Candidates who did not pass the NDAEB Written exam have the right to request a rescore to verify the accuracy of the reported score. To initiate this process, follow these steps:

  1. Rescore Request: Complete and submit the “Rescore Request” online through the NDAEB website within thirty (30) days of receiving the exam results letter.
  2. Payment: Ensure payment is made using a valid credit card along with the submission of the form.

In the event that a candidate’s score is reversed through the rescore process, rendering them eligible for an NDAEB Certificate without re-examination, the rescore fee will be refunded, and the NDAEB certificate will be issued, where applicable.

Please note that unsuccessful marks undergo thorough review prior to result release.

Please allow 5-7 business days to receive the official reply after the rescore request is submitted.

Appeals

Candidates who did not pass the NDAEB Written and/or the Clinical Practice Evaluation (CPE) have the right to appeal their results. Requests for an appeal will only be heard if the request is based on one or more of the following grounds for appeal:

  • Procedural grounds
  • Environmental grounds
  • Personal grounds

To initiate this process, follow these steps:

  1. Appeal Request: Complete and submit the “Appeal Request” online through the NDAEB website within 30 days of receiving the exam results letter.
  2. Payment: Ensure payment is made using a valid credit card along with the submission of the form.

The NDAEB Appeals Committee rules on all appeals. Successful appeals will NOT result in the issuing of the NDAEB Certificate or a change in the score but may result in a rewrite at no cost to the candidate at the next available exam sitting. In such cases, the exam score in question may be expunged from the candidate’s file. All decisions by the Appeals Committee are final and will not be revisited.

Please allow 5-7 business days to receive the official reply after the appeal request is submitted.
