No, there are no reputation rewards for passing review tests, nor should there be.

The ability to review things in the queues is a privilege, it should not be giving you additional capabilities or rewards just for passing the audits.

Normally the audits come up to make sure you're not just robo-clicking through posts, to make sure you're actually reviewing them. The tests, when failed enough, are temporary lockouts designed to capture such robo-reviewing but also to help identify that "You are not using review proper." Passing those audits should not give any additional rewards beyond you being allowed to continue reviewing.

If we give reputation for succeeding in reviewing or succeeding in these tests, it's just going to invite people to review only to get reputation, which will flood the review queues with failed reviews, crap flags, and additional headaches. The point of reviewing is to improve the quality of the site, not to give you reputation.

Reputation should be gained by posting good questions and answers. It's not supposed to be gained by 'review' powers, just how you don't get reputation for correct flags or flags which are helpful.
