Chapter 364-X-8 - EXAMINATIONS
Section 364-X-8-.05 - Examination Offerings

(a) Should the applicant fail to take the examination offered or fail to pass the examination, the applicant must file a request for reexamination and pay the examination fee as set by the Board. Should the applicant fail to take the examination or fail to pass the examination applied for, the fee paid is not refundable.

(b) In the event an applicant fails to pass the required examination after three (3) attempts (including absences), the applicant will be notified that the application has been denied.

(c) If an application is denied, an applicant, in order to be considered for further examinations, must file a new application, pay the application fee as required by law and submit a statement of additional education that is satisfactory to the Board. It will be incumbent upon the applicant to indicate on the new application the extent of additional qualifying experience and/or education since application closing which will permit the applicant to qualify for further examinations.

(d) In the event the requalified applicant again fails to pass the required examination after three (3) additional attempts, the application will be denied and the procedure as outlined in (c) above would then be repeated before further consideration would be afforded the applicant.

(e) An application will be considered valid and retained on file for a period of five (5) years only. After three (3) failures or five (5) years, whichever occurs first, an application will be closed and the applicant will be required to follow the procedure outlined in (c) above for reapplication.
