(b) Ninety minutes shall be allowed to complete the test and the 90 minutes shall be included as part of the 30 hours of required training.

(c) Training participants may use statutes and other resources to complete the test, but training participants shall individually complete the test.

(3) EVALUATION AND SCORING OF TESTS. Staff of the department designated by the administrator shall evaluate the responses to the test questions and shall determine the percentage of questions that each training participant has answered correctly. The department shall notify each training participant and his or her supervisor of that percentage within 20 working days after the training is completed. A training participant who has answered 70% or more of the questions correctly has passed the test. A training participant who has answered fewer than 70% of the questions correctly has failed the test.

If a training participant fails the test, he or she shall be given an opportunity to respond again to the questions for which erroneous responses were given on the original test. The questions that a training participant failed to answer correctly shall be included with the notice of the score on the original test. The training participant shall have 5 working days to complete answers to the questions and return the answers to the department. If all of the answers are correct, the department shall notify the training participant that he or she has passed the test.
