7.1 Your Exam Result

Once the feedback survey is completed, the candidate will be emailed the result of their exam to the address the candidate provided at the time of registration. The email will state the name of the exam, and whether the candidate "Passed" or "Did Not Pass".

Natural Resources Canada does not provide the questions or answers to current or previous exams, in order to uphold the integrity of the examination system. Circulation of exam questions and answers would impede the fair assessment process which is one of the goals of the new system.

Natural Resources Canada does not release the passing mark for each exam or the mark achieved by candidates. It is industry standard practice to inform the candidates that they were successful or not successful. The purpose of the EnerGuide Rating System exams is to determine whether a candidate has the necessary competencies (e.g. knowledge, abilities, skills, attitudes and judgement) to perform the services effectively. The pass mark has been set at a minimum (adequate) level of competency for each of the respective exams. Natural Resources Canada does not grade on a bell curve or rank-order candidates. (Please refer to Appendix A: The Modified Angoff Method & Determining a Pass Mark for information on setting pass marks.)
