    I am having trouble as well and was hoping there would be someone who could provide a suggestion about how to get through it on the last attempt.

    Recertification can feel tough, especially when you're getting close to that final attempt.

    One resource that's really helpful is Teachstone's Reliability Support page: https://teachstone.com/reliability-support   It includes targeted supports designed specifically for folks preparing for (or retaking) the test-like guidance on common scoring challenges, tips for aligning to the CLASS lens, and opportunities to get additional help.

    A few quick tips that might help as you prepare:

    • Go back to the dimension-level language in the manual and focus on what distinguishes mid vs. high ranges
    • Watch for patterns across the cycle, not just standout moments
    • If possible, practice scoring and then compare your reasoning-the "why" behind scores is key

    If you are in need of additional support, please reach out to us at reliability@teachstone.com or via chat in the lower right-hand corner of the site to set up a call with our Reliability Support Team-they're there to help you think through tricky scoring decisions and feel more confident going into your next attempt.

    I have struggled with this in the past as well. Do you think there will ever be changes where after we pass or fail the correct answers are revealed so that we can see if we scored too low or too high? I have found that I commonly miss areas that I score in the middle so even though I know which ones I missed I can't tell if I should have scored higher or lower. I think this would be greatly beneficial for test takers. I know that I would appreciate it.

    Thank you,

    I did pass, but really wanted to learn about my mistakes to grow..  I reached out and met with someone, but they would not give me any details or help other than to rewatch videos.  I was very disappointed as I am trying to learn and grow!!!!

    We, the community, have been suggesting this for years.  We talk about the importance of "learning from errors", yet don't practice what we preach!  

    While I was fortunate to pass each of my recertifications (over 13 years), I still wanted to know if I was just a bit "high or low" or completely off.

    Hopefully, this practice will evolve for all of our betterment.

    I wish after your first attempt of not  passing it would alert someone so they could give you the guidance you need, and I wish you didn't have to re certify every year, it would be better if you could re certify every 3 years, just my opinion.

    90-100-90- and the last two less then 90 so I score at 76% missing just a little. But I would it love some feedback and help........ I want to recertify again but on my own this time. So go ahead study read focus do your best I wish you good luck amen.

    I am sorry you are having some trouble with the recertification. Just a reminder that you may know is that you can not fail in the same area 2 or 3 times. That will cause you to not recertify. Also, when I am scoring I will go one down sometimes even if I am pretty sure that I know the score because of having the opportunity to be off by one number. 

    When you did the practice videos did you look over what they scored and why to compare to what you are thinking? Do you have the book to use to look up when you are unsure of what they may be looking for or what may cause it to be a high, medium or low score? Just some thoughts I hope it helps.

    Good luck, with getting any help , I'm on my last attempt, and I reached out for support and no one has reached out to me to help me. 

    I pray you pass on your final attempt.
