Examination Results Information
Release of Scores
Scores for all CITA examinations are mailed to candidates within ten (10) business days after the candidate’s examination is completed. When scores are mailed, CITA will simultaneously post these scores on its website by candidate identification number only.
Scores are not released at any time other than to the candidate with the exception of student candidates, whose scores are released to the dental schools who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with CITA and to state boards when a candidate’s conduct or performance raises issues of character and/or fitness that CITA feels such information should be made known to a licensure board.
Upon successful completion of the CITA examination scores are automatically released to the member states of CITA within five (5) business days after scores are mailed to candidates. Upon written authorized from the candidate, scores are released to other jurisdictions.
Duplicate Scores
