The commission shall set passing scores with the objective of assuring an adequate level of subject matter preparation.

The examination shall report at least relative and absolute scores to facilitate comparison and interpretation, if practicable.

The individual candidate’s score on any examination shall be a matter of record, but shall not be posted on the front of the credential or be made available to the public; the teaching or other credential shall identify by name those examinations successfully passed.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit research, evaluation, analysis, or interpretation of test scores so long as individual confidentiality is maintained.
