Class-action lawsuit forming?
by Teacher
Nov 5, 2016
I have retaken the national boards. I absolutely know that I did a better job. I know I did very well on the computer test. I knew every answer. I worked with a NBPTS mentor who passed on the first try. But my score did not change. If there is no way for me to see my test then I feel compelled to seek out a lawyer. Does any one know of any legal attempts force NBPTS to show the test to an applicant. I know that it scored at least a 3.00. I know this.

SM What can we do? I went online and found that Pearson is assessing all our entries and tests. This was my last year and I am devastated.
