The beta testing period concluded on 18th January, and we’ve now moved into the final psychometric phase of exam development. This stage will take approximately two weeks.
During this time, we’re also working through all the feedback submitted through question comments, survey responses, and email.
We’ll share an update in February on the status of final scoring, ahead of sending individual result emails to everyone who participated in the beta. Thank you all for your time, effort, and thoughtful feedback.
If you have any further feedback, or any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We’ve had a report of a voucher being inactive. We’re looking into this with our assessment partner Kryterion with high priority. Please contact us if you experience the same issue. EDIT: issue is resolved.

It’s fantastic to see so many people taking the beta exam. Once you finish, we’ll send your raw beta score to the email address you used during registration.
Your raw result will differ from your final score. Once all candidates have completed the exam, we’ll run several psychometric analyses. After those are complete, we’ll rescore your exam and send you your final result.

The Beta exam period has been extended until the 18th January.
