Provisional feedback
Provisional feedback is available immediately after you finish taking your exam.
Official results
Official results are available in your CLARB account approximately 4-6 weeks following the last day of the administration period.
These results are reported as pass or fail.
- "Pass" scores are 650 or above.
- "Fail" scores will include diagnostic feedback and subdomain feedback.
Diagnostic feedback
If you receive a “fail” result, you will also receive a number from 0 to 649 representing a scaled score for that section. Because the number of questions and complexity varies across the L.A.R.E. sections, your raw score is converted to a scaled score, reflecting a consistent standard of proficiency.
This scaled score is provided as a performance indicator to demonstrate how close you were to the passing point of 650.
On the L.A.R.E. scale, 650 is always the passing point, no matter which section you took. A scaled score of 640, for example, means you were close to passing that section.
Subdomain feedback
Each exam section is comprised of 5-8 numbered subdomains. You can find details on the subdomains using the exam blueprint or in the candidate handbook.
If you receive a "fail" result, you can match the subdomain number against your results to understand how you performed on that subdomain. You will receive one of three possible performance reviews for each subdomain:
Proficient
Indicates you performed at or above the minimum competency threshold for this area of practice.
Slightly below proficient
Indicates you performed just below the minimum competency threshold for this area of practice.
Well below proficient
Indicates that you performed well below the minimum competency threshold for this area of practice.
