Why Does It Take Time to Receive Your NDECC Results?
After taking the NDECC, some candidates may be wondering about the time it takes to receive their exam results. There are two key factors contributing to the time required for releasing NDECC results.
First, the NDEB relies on the support of a diverse group of dental professionals across the country for the evaluation of the NDECC. Evaluation sessions for each NDECC series are held periodically, meaning that exams are not assessed immediately after completion. This approach allows us to bring together experts during these sessions, ensuring the validity of the exam and a more calibrated evaluation format.
Results are typically released eight weeks after the evaluation session. An email notification will inform candidates when their results are available in their online profile. Our NDECC calendar gathers all NDECC sessions along with their associated evaluation dates.
We are committed to developing and administering valid, reliable examinations for individuals aspiring to practice as dentists in Canada. To uphold these standards, we collaborate with third-party psychometric experts who review the NDECC components to ensure alignment with established standard. Additionally, content experts convene in workshops to further validate the exam content, ensuring consistency and reliability throughout the evaluation process.
Each step is essential in guaranteeing the accuracy, fairness, and integrity of the evaluation process. Maintaining these standards ensures that candidates receive results that accurately reflect their performance and uphold the NDEB high standards of testing.
