Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) During the
				examination, candidates must follow the instructions of the examination
				supervisor. The instructions shall be provided to the candidates in written
				form, and shall be read to the candidates by the examination supervisor. The
				candidates will be permitted to ask reasonable questions of the Department's
				examination supervisor and proctors relating to the instructions.
(2) The Department's admission notice for the
				specified examination and a government-issued photo identification, such as
				driver's license, must be presented in order to gain admission to the
				examination. A valid government-issued photo identification shall be acceptable
				in the absence of the admission notice provided the candidate's name appears on
				the examination admission roster that has been prepared by the Department for
				the specific examination.
(3) If a
				candidate arrives at the designated testing location after the designated
				starting time, the candidate will be permitted to take the examination only
				after the candidate has signed a statement clearly indicating the candidate's
				late arrival time, and has agreed that the candidate will have only the
				remaining designated time in the examination to complete the examination. Any
				candidate who refuses to sign such a statement will be disqualified from the
				examination and may apply to the Department for scheduling for the next
				examination. If the late candidate arrives after any other candidate has
				already finished the examination and left the examination room, the late
				candidate will be disqualified from the examination and may apply to the
				Department for scheduling for the next examination. The exam fee will not be
				refunded in either situation described above.
(4) All examination booklets, answer sheets,
				and other examination papers and materials are the sole property of the
				Department. No candidate shall take any of the examination booklets, answer
				sheets, answers, or other examination papers or materials from the examination
				room, or retain, reproduce or compromise the materials in whole or in part by
				any means or method.
(5) The
				examinations will consist of multiple-choice questions. All questions are
				equally weighted. Knowledge, skills, or abilities to be tested shall be
				determined by the Department and reviewed by the exam review
				committee.
(6) If through no fault
				of the candidate, the candidate is not allowed the standard allotted time to
				complete the examination, additional time may be allowed upon approval of the
				examination supervisor. If materials are lost by the Department, or other
				problems occur because of the Department's inaction or negligence, the
				Department shall permit reexamination in those areas at no charge at the next
				available regularly scheduled examination.
