The national Institute for certification in engineering technologies gives a test for electrical power testing a basic level one test which consist of approximately three areas field testing level I safety level I management planning level I, there were only 69 questions on the test 700 points is the maximum amount can get on the test which is equal to 100%, a passing score I was informed was 500 which is equal to 49.285% you only need a 50% to pass the test in each domain a candidate tested in Massachusetts whose name we will not say his test scores ranged a minimum of 50% to 80% range since the passing score was exactly 49.285%
Johnny as we will call him did pass the test, however the NICET took the $210 testing fee, and claim that the candidate did not pass the test, if the candidate got a total of 50 questions in one domain of the test over 60 questions correct in the second domain of the test, and over 75 questions correct in the third domain of the test this is approximately 185 questions, that the Institute claimed the candidate took, this does not seem logical since there were only 69 questions on the test, the candidate believes that he passed the test and his money was taken and since Pearson view has remote cameras in the testing center that relay images of the test taker back to the national Institute for certification in engineering technologies the Institute just
decided that a minority candidate was not a proper fit to pass the test the candidate was ripped off is not allowed a second chance to take the test, nor was he ever told that a passing score of 500 was required to pass the test, Johnny as we will call him, has proof that he passed all the domains of the test with scores over 50% in all three areas of the test a passing grade according to the national Institute for certification in engineering technologies is 500 points and or a 49.285% in the designated testing area Johnny was basically cheated out of his money and cheated out of his certification, this organization is so secret about takeing, tests, and specifically wants video footage of any minorities takeing any test to get certifications from the
national Institute of certification in engineering technologies, why this is so I cannot give an answer, however if you decide you want to take this test I would recommend getting a certification from another organization. The candidate believes that he was given a switched out, test that was more advanced than the test he was supposed to have been,but yet he passed it and was still denied certification, after he paid his $210 a report was filed with the Atty. Gen. in Washington DC but so far there has been no outcome or relief granted to the test-taker, there are other organizations that you can get certification from honestly, without having to go to the national Institute for certification in engineering technologies.
Respectfully yours
