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

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.
