Section 38G of chapter 71 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2008 official edition, is hereby amended by adding the following sentence:-

The board shall design a process for any licensure tests required in this section that provides all failing candidates a comprehensive narrative summary of their test results, including areas of strengths and weaknesses, and a list of potential resources the candidate may consult to achieve a passing score on their tests.  This process shall be annually referred by the board to the education personnel advisory council established in section 1G of chapter 15 and said council shall annually provide recommendations, if any, on changing this process to better assist candidates failing licensure tests.
