§ 2756a. Licenses—Failure to pass examination

Any person who fails any part of the revalidation examination on three (3) occasions may not take to a new examination until he/she presents evidence to the Board attesting that he/she has taken and approved the remedial course or courses recognized or accredited by the Board. After these courses, the person shall have three (3) additional opportunities for taking the examination. Were these courses unavailable after having failed the revalidation examination on three (3) occasions, the applicant shall have three (3) additional opportunities for taking the revalidation examination without having to meet the requirement of taking these courses, upon prior express authorization of the Board. Were it available, this course will be required after having failed the examination on three (3) additional occasions.

The Board shall guarantee to the persons who have not approved one or more parts of the revalidation examination, the right to examine their answer sheet, to obtain a breakdown of the score achieved, and to request a reconsideration of the evaluation and grading of his/her examination.

The Board shall grant a term of ninety (90) days, from the date the results of the examination are posted, to any person who has taken the examination, for filing any allegation in his/her favor regarding the grading of the examinations. The examination papers of those that have passed may be destroyed after the abovementioned ninety (90) days have elapsed. The Board shall retain the examination papers of the last three examinations taken by the person who fails, for the purpose of expediting the procedure established in this section.
