Here's an excerpt from the ARRL VEC Manual: "After the candidate’s exam paper has been graded, always inform the candidate of the exam results (pass or fail) and inform the candidate of his or her grade..." Perhaps your instruction came from someone who was strictly interpreting section 97.509. 97.509 (j) says: "When the examinee does not score a passing grade on an examination element, the administering VEs must return the application document to the examinee and inform the examinee of the grade." There's no instruction about what the VE should do if a person passes the test, other than to issue the appropriate CSCE. It doesn't say that the VE cannot tell the person his or her score. 73, Dan KB6NU Well, methinks you got the wrong info on that, Larry. Here’s an excerpt from the ARRL VEC Manual:

But as an ARRL certified VE, we were always instructed NOT to inform candidates as to how many questions they got wrong on an exam.
