Banking What is score banking? Save the Take One Score and use it for full certification Bank good scores for 2 years and retake the areas that they didnt do well If I only complete one part of the assessment process, will my scores be automatically banked or do I need to notify NBPTS?

Renewal Certified already; good for 10 years Start in 8 th year; risky to wait until the 9th year Renewals - pay their own fees 2 CEUs- requirement now (first time 7.5 CEUs)
