How are ARE divisions administered and graded?

• A. All divisions are administered and graded by computer on a pass/fail basis.
• B. Some divisions use manual scoring by reviewers.
• C. Divisions are graded using a letter-grade scale.
• D. Results are strictly pass only with no feedback.

Answer: (A)

Divisions are delivered and scored entirely by computer, and each division is evaluated on a pass/fail basis. All items are scored automatically by the testing system, there’s no manual scoring by reviewers, and there are no letter grades or numeric percentages shown. After completing a division, you receive a clear pass or fail result for that division, rather than a scored grade, which aligns with the computer-based, pass/fail structure used across ARE 5.0 divisions.
