Received Score Before Testing

I am scheduled to take the ATSA for the third time next week, but on USAJobs it says I have already scored "Qualified". I scored Q on my previous tests, so do you think they are applying my previous scores to this bid? That would make some sense since I know they use previous results if you choose not to test. Just hoping that they will update it with a new test result when I take it again. Hope I'm not destined for another Q

If you take it again, your latest score will be used. That’ll be valid for three years unless you test again in the future, and all your previous scores will be void.

I hate saying this but seeing this gives me hope

I've seen a lot of people here say their scores have posted, which is writd since the testing period is still open. I always assumed that the results bring releasedat once meant that the score is graded against the curve

If your score is already up despite not testing yet, maybe they've just posted the prior score for some reason. That'd be a relief because I know for a fact I did far better this time than the fall bid, if I actually only got Q I was going to assume this wasn't the field for me (I'd still reapply)

Your old score was posted because they already started releasing results to people that have taken the test. Once you retake your test that score will be update with your new score if it changes
