The College does not automatically register applicants for another exam sitting. If you deferred writing the exam you still have to register for another exam by submitting the Exam Registration Form, booking your exam with the exam provider and paying the exam fee (if your request for deferral was not received by the deadline). Applicants can defer writing the exam to the next available exam date for any reason, including not being ready to write.

If you wish to register for the third and last attempt on the exam you must submit a Remediation Plan to the Registration Committee for approval. Please submit the plan way in advance so the College can prepare a referral.

To learn more about the Remediation Plan use this link https://www.coko.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Remediation-Plan-Guide-Revised-October-2019.pdf

Please notify us by email by the application deadline that you wish to re-take the exam and we will inform you of next steps. You are not required to resubmit your online application or any documents.

In general, applicants who wish to register for their second attempt are required to submit the Exam Registration Form and the exam fee and must book their exam with the exam provider. Once you are ready to re-take the exam please notify us at examination@coko.ca

Applicants have three attempts or four years (whichever comes first) to pass the exam. If you failed and wish to re-take the exam, you have to pay the examination fee for each attempt.

The Examination Candidate Performance Profile shows:

• a breakdown of your exam results using average scaled scores, which are constant over every exam sitting. This enables you to see how you performed in comparison to the average performance of other passing candidates (i.e. the reference group) for each of the content categories of the Exam Blueprint;
• detailed information on your performance in two specific content categories of the exam: (1) Competency Category (domains); and (2) Cognitive Level.
• Please note that your raw score on the test form has been converted to the scaled score, and that you are not required to pass each content area to pass the exam. If you received a score below 450 in any of the content areas, you might want to focus more of your future preparation efforts in those areas.

The College reports results as “Pass” and “Fail.” Only unsuccessful candidates receive an Examination Candidate Performance Profile.

No, applicants will only have access to the exam questions during the exam.
