The technical requirements can be found on Pearson\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of your exam, you will be asked to show the remote proctor your testing space and submit a valid form of photo ID.

The minimum passing score is 220.<\/p>\n<p>You will receive your score report before leaving the testing center for in-person testers, while remote test-takers will receive their report within 2 weeks
