Result notification will be emailed to candidates late March - early April.

HPAT-Ulster scores
You will receive three Section Scores and one Overall Score. In other words, you will have one score for each test section (with a separate score for each of the Written Communication tasks), and an Overall Score that is an average of the three section scores.

To assist you in evaluating your test performance, you will also be given a percentile ranking for your Overall Score.

Note: Overall Scores are calculated by ACER to several decimal places and then rounded. It is not possible for candidates to replicate this process.

Scores are reported as scaled rather than raw (number correct) scores. Scores are scaled to make them directly comparable from year to year. This is important as HPAT-Ulster scores are valid for 2 years. The scores provide sufficient discrimination between candidates to enable user universities to rank applicants in a meaningful and reliable way.

The University of Ulster will set their own HPAT-Ulster cut-off scores each year. These will be the minimum HPAT-Ulster scores acceptable for consideration by the University of Ulster. The university may also choose to use the scores in other ways.

Candidates will not be provided with any additional information on scores or the scoring process. All information remains the property of ACER and no right of inspection will be deemed to be vested in a candidate.
