			 an examination will, upon receipt of the appropriate fee, be listed for
			 reexamination at the regularly scheduled examination held within thirteen
			 months of the original exam. Any candidate who fails the second consecutive
			 examination will be required to wait a period of one year following
			 notification of failure before reapplying, and at that time shall submit a new

			 professional engineer who is required to take both parts of the written
			 examination and who passes one of the two parts and fails the other part shall
			 be credited with the part passed (Part I-Fundamentals of Engineering or Part
			 II-Principles and Practice of Engineering toward meeting the complete
			 examination requirements for licensure. Such credit toward meeting the full
			 examination requirement shall remain valid on Part I for ten years and on Part
			 II for six years from the date of the examination on which such part was
			 passed. Any applicant for licensure as a professional engineer who is permitted
			 to take only one part of the two-part examination at any set examination shall
			 be charged in the fee schedule for the full two-part examination.
(g) An applicant for licensure as a land
			 surveyor who is required to take all parts of the written examination and who
			 passes one of the parts and fails the other parts shall be credited with the
			 part passed (Part I-Fundamentals of Land Surveying, or Part IIA-Principles and
			 Practice of Land Surveying, Part IIB-Colonial Law and Part IIC-Connecticut Law)
			 toward meeting the complete examination requirements for licensure. Such credit
			 toward meeting the full examination requirements shall remain valid on Part I
			 for ten years and one Part IIA, IIB or IIC for six years from the date of the
			 examination on which such part was passed. Any applicant for licensure as a
			 land surveyor who is permitted to take only one part of the examination at any
			 set examination shall be charged in the fee schedule for the full
			 examination.
(h) Examinations may
			 be postponed in exceptional cases for good reason upon request from the
			 candidate, until the next regularly scheduled examination after the period for
			 which the candidate was originally scheduled. The board assumes that all
			 applicants are planning to appear at the next scheduled examination if
			 required. Ordinarily, not more than one postponement shall be
			 permitted.
(i) The board may at its
			 discretion request any applicant to appear personally and give opportunity for
			 discussion and consideration of his or her application.
