Often, physicians assume a mixup has occurred and ask if it is possible that results have erroneously been provided from their previous attempt. After a psychometric review, it is clear that there is no mistake at all. In fact, we anticipate many test-takers will receive a comparable score on future attempts at successfully taking the exam. We base this anticipation on the psychometric concept of reliability.
