How is the Outcome Simulator different from Actual Score?
Use Actual Score when you already know exactly how many of your 150 attempts you got right. Use the Outcome Simulator if you want to plan for different effort levels — set a target attempt count and accuracy, see the projected score, and check whether it clears your category cutoff comfortably or barely.
How long is the REET certificate valid?
A REET certificate is valid for a lifetime. The 7-year validity rule was removed when the National Council for Teacher Education updated its TET notification in 2021. Source: NCTE Notification archive.
