Results Notification
 
The grading process begins once all the month’s answer sheets arrive in the Examination Section. The Section is allotted 30 days to complete the grading process; however, results are usually available within 14 days of the last monthly examination.

The process includes a statistical analysis of each question on the examination.  Questions found to be statistically deficient are subject to further review.  To determine the reliability and validity of every examination, a statistical analysis and review is conducted prior to grade release. Additionally, a random sample of answer sheets is graded by hand to ensure the accuracy of the scanning process.

Please do not contact the Examination Section concerning results unless thirty (30) days have elapsed and the results have not been released.  Excessive calls concerning results may delay the grading process.

Upon completion of the grading process, result information can be accessed at www.fdle.state.fl.us/exam.

The Examination Results form "Applicant State Officer Certification Examination Overall Results" CJSTC Form 516, will then be mailed to the applicant to the address provided by the examinee.

Results notifications for individuals who fail the examination will include a course breakdown for which the individual is encouraged to focus additional study efforts from the curriculum.

Veterans Entitled To Education Benefits 

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has a new education benefit for veterans with remaining entitlement under the Montgomery G.I. Bill.

Starting March 1, 2001, the VA will reimburse eligible applicants for the cost of licensing and certification examinations not to exceed $2,000.00 per examination. These licensing and certification examinations must be generally deemed necessary to pursue a trade or profession.

If you are an eligible veteran and would like to take advantage of this benefit, please submit the following items to:

• Your name and social security number,
• The name of the examination you took and the date you took it,
• The name and address of the organization issuing the license or certificate (not necessarily the organization that administered the examination),
• The cost of the examination to be reimbursed, and
• The following statement: “I authorize release of my examination information to the VA.”

For further information regarding this benefit please call the toll free number in Decatur, Georgia at 1-888-442-4551 or access the internet at https://www.gibill.va.gov to learn more.
