ACTFL signup question(s)

[Insert Name]

Does an official copy need to be sent anywhere to have it added to credly? Can you have official copies sent later? What is the normal turn around time for the results, and is it worth the $60/test to try to speed that up?

I got my results back within 2 business days. You'll get an email with link to Credly to claim your badge. Fast and easy.
I hated their live proctoring though.

Awesome. Thank you!

The reason they have proctoring for this is to verify "you" are the one who really is doing the assessment. Otherwise, yeah, I can imagine how it would feel just to have someone "watch" you talking to a computer or someone else on the phone... it's all good for some quick credits if you know a language with enough familiarity in that language to score some "hot" credits fast!

Listening test was graded within a couple of hours.

Oh and forgot to answer your question, I would not waste the cash to get the "rush" evaluations unless you absolutely need to. Use that waiting time to get some other credits from ACE or other alternative credit options...

Reading test was graded in less than an hour.

I think you do need to send a transcript from ACTFL to a school, because that's where they'll get the info on what level you got, and how many credits that's worth. This is in addition to Credly.

Looking at Credly it shows level and recommended credits.
