				The definitions contained in
				G.S.
				143-143.9 are incorporated into this Rule by
				reference. As used in this Rule, "qualifier" means an individual taking the
				examination on behalf of an applicant that is not an individual.
(b) Examination Required. Each applicant for
				a set-up contractor's license shall pass a written examination administered by
				the Board before the Board will issue a license to the applicant. Every
				applicant shall pass the examination with a grade of at least 70 percent. An
				applicant who does not pass the examination shall be allowed to retake the
				examination.
(c) Time and Place of
				Examinations. The Board shall administer examinations in its offices in
				Raleigh. The Board shall announce the time and place for each examination at
				least 10 days before the date of the examination.
(d) Application Process. Each applicant shall
				complete an application on a form provided by the Board. If the applicant is
				not an individual, the applicant shall identify on the application any
				individuals who will take the examination for the applicant. In order to take
				an examination on a particular date, an applicant shall file a completed
				application no later than 30 days before the scheduled date of the
				examination.
(e) Person Taking
				Examination. A qualifier shall be associated with the applicant, and shall be
				actively engaged in the work of the applicant for a minimum of 20 hours per
				week, or a majority of the hours operated by the applicant, whichever is less.
				Each licensee shall notify the Board in writing within 10 days after any
				qualifier no longer meets the preceding requirements. If one qualifier fails,
				and another passes, the license shall be granted to that applicant. An
				individual shall not serve as a qualifier for more than one license. The
				applicant may have more than one individual serve as a qualifier.
(f) General Requirements. All applicants
				scheduled for an examination shall bring a form of identification with a
				current picture. No visitors shall be allowed in the testing room.
(g) Special Arrangements for the Disabled. If
				an applicant has a disability which will require special arrangements to take
				an examination, the applicant shall request in writing that appropriate special
				arrangements be made. The Board shall make reasonable accommodations for
				applicants requesting assistance pursuant to this Rule.
(h) Cheating and Related Misconduct.
				Applicants shall not cheat or attempt to cheat on an examination by any means,
				including both giving and receiving assistance, and shall not communicate in
				any manner for any purpose with any person other than staff members for the
				Board during an examination.
(i)
				Notification of Results. The examination results shall be mailed to the
				applicant at the address on the application form within 30 days after the
				examination. Passing applicants shall receive only a grade of "pass."
(j) Review of Examinations. Upon the
				applicant's written request, made within 30 days after the written notification
				of the examination results, an applicant who did not pass the examination shall
				be allowed to review his examination. The review shall be at the Board's
				offices, at a time schedule by the Board's staff. An applicant shall review his
				examination in the presence of a staff member of the Board and shall not be
				accompanied by any other individual at a review session. No other individual
				shall review an examination on behalf of the applicant. An applicant shall not
				be permitted to copy a question or answer contained in the examination report
				or alter an examination paper in any way. An applicant who has passed the
				examination shall not be permitted to review his examination. If the applicant
				is not an individual, the review of the examination shall be made by the
