OSLE SCORES
To all online state law exam (OSLE) candidates except Florida, candidates will need to contact their respective state board(s) to find out when their scores will be released by the state board(s). NBEO only administers state law exams. State boards determine the pass/fail cut off score and release scores. A score of an OSLE administered by NBEO must be obtained directly from the state board(s); it will not appear on the NBEO score report.
To all Florida OSLE candidates, the Florida Department of Health sets the pass/fail cutoff score. Florida OSLE scores are only available from our website. Instructions on how to look up a Florida OSLE score are available on the OSLE webpage of our website.
