The Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Geologists, in agreement with the National Association of State Boards of Geologists (ASBOG) and member states registration or licensure boards, accepts test scores for the ASBOG Fundamental and Practice examination as a part of the licensure and registration requirements and as part of the comity licensure requirements. However, because veterans preferences and other forms of score adjustment are not recognized by the Board for licensure in Alabama, test scores that have been enhanced to a passing score by awarding of veterans preference or other forms of score adjustment in another member state will not be accepted for purposes of comity if the original score was below the recommended passing grade as established by testing service. An applicant from those member states granting veterans' preference points or other score adjustments to an applicant's test score will be asked to provide the original test score and the amount of preference point adjustment. A passing grade for each of the ASBOG tests is 70, as determined by the ASBOG testing service. No other passing grades enhanced by veterans or other preference points will be accepted.
