Results
Results for the December test are announced the following February for examinees in Japan, and March for overseas candidates. Test results are sent to the examinees through the testing organization or centre to which they applied. From 2012, with online registration, results are available online before they are mailed out (late August for the July test). All examinees receive a report indicating their scores by section. Those who pass also receive a Certificate of Proficiency.

—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.”
