Re-testing is permitted no sooner than one year from the date of the test. If a candidate opts to re-test, the re-test score becomes the candidate's official score since it is the most recent. If a significant modification is made to this exam in the future, the application of “banked” scores may no longer be appropriate. In such a rare circumstance, candidates with “banked” scores would be required to re-take the exam sooner than the two-year period specified above should they apply to another job opportunity where the modified exam is used.

Score Banking: Scores attained on the Protective Services Worker Exam for Adult Protective Services will be 'banked' for two years, starting from the date of the examination.

However, after one year, a candidate has the option to either (a) keep the same score and apply their test score to the other announcement or (b) re-take the test. Re-testing is permitted no sooner than one year from the date of the test. If a candidate opts to re-test, the re-test score becomes the candidate's official score since it is the most recent. If a significant modification is made to this exam in the future, the application of "banked" scores may no longer be appropriate. In such a rare circumstance, candidates with "banked" scores would be required to re-take the exam sooner than the two-year period specified above should they apply to another job opportunity where the modified exam is used. The above test component is considered standardized and, therefore, test questions and answers are not available for public inspection or review. Candidate scores on this examination may also be applied to other announcements involving other job titles, when directed by the Human Resources Director.
