Rule 30-901-11.12 - Exam Opportunities

1. Exam opportunities for computer-based exams For each application, the Board's official "approval" to take the exam expires after two years. The applicant is allowed up to three citations (opportunities) during each year to take and pass the exam. If the applicant is not successful by the end of the second year, the application is closed, and a new application must be submitted for Board approval.

2. Exam opportunities for pencil-and-paper exams except the Structural PE exam For the initial application, the applicant is allowed three (3) consecutive citations, that is, three (3) consecutive opportunities, to take the examination. The citations "count", whether the applicant actually takes the examination or not. If the applicant is not successful by the third citation, the initial application is closed.

To attempt the exam again, the applicant must submit a new application to be approved by the Board, and will be allowed only one citation per application, subject to the restrictions below. For pencil-and-paper exams, this one citation "counts", whether the applicant actually takes the examination or not at the next offering of the exam.

An applicant having three or more unsuccessful attempts of the same exam, regardless of the jurisdiction in which the exam is administered, must submit an application to be readmitted to future administrations of the same exam. If readmitted by the Board, the applicant may take the exam no sooner than eleven months following the most recent attempt.

3. With reference to the two hour Mississippi Section PS exam, an applicant who cancels an exam which he has previously agreed to attend or who fails to appear on the day of the exam, shall not receive a refund of any exam fee already paid.
