Assessment principles of the ECCE (in effect as of March 2014):
-
All ECCE section scores are reported in the following five band scores and corresponding scaled numeric scores:
Band score Scaled numeric score Honors (H) 840-1000 Pass (P) 750-835 Low Pass (LP) 650-745 Borderline Fail (BF) 610-645 Fail (F) 0-605 - Candidates whose average score for all four sections is equal to 650 or higher are awarded an ECCE certificate.
- Candidates whose average score for all four sections is below 650 are not awarded an ECCE certificate.
- Candidates who have been absent from one or more sections are not awarded an ECCE certificate. Any passing score they may have received for whichever section they were not absent from does not affect the final result.
- The University of Michigan allows candidates with disabilities to request for special examination accommodations or modifications.
