MTLE will email a .pdf score report to you on the score report date. It is important that you save a copy of your scores in your Google Drive as you will need these for your Admission to the Blocks application and for licensure if you did not put UMD as a recipient of your scores. Your score report will be available online as a PDF document for 45 days after the score report date. You may view, print, and save your score report from your account during that period. Your testing history for all tests taken, reported as pass/fail status, is always available to you through your account.
- If you did not save a .pdf report of your scores and did not put UMD as a recipient of your scores you can request a score report.
