Section 20-02-01-03.4 - [Effective 10/1/2024] Clinical competency examination retakes

If an applicant taking the clinical competency examination in the integrated format is unsuccessful after having exhausted all allowable retake opportunities for the failed parts, one failure is recorded. The applicant then shall retake all five parts of the examination in the traditional format. If the applicant is unsuccessful in one or more parts, a second failure is recorded. If the failed parts are retaken and failed again, a third failure shall be recorded. A dental applicant may take a clinical examination three times before remedial training is required. After failing the examination for a third time, and prior to the fourth attempt of the examination, an applicant shall:

1. Submit to the board a detailed plan for remedial training by an accredited dental school or a dental testing agency. The proposed remedial training must be approved by the board.

2. Submit to the board proof of passing the remedial training within twenty-four months of its approval by the board.

The board may grant or deny a fourth attempt of the clinical examination. A fourth attempt must occur within twelve months of the date of the board's decision. If an applicant fails any part of the examination after remedial training, additional retakes must be approved by the board.
