OBTAINING YOUR EXAM RESULTS
The ABPh is responsible for managing the distribution of official results to its candidates. After all the tests have been completed, ABPh must review the results and determine if certain test questions need to be re-evaluated. This process may take several weeks. Results will be made available to candidates during the first two weeks of July, 2008.

Candidates cannot get official results from testing centers or from Pearson VUE. (May 6, 2008)
