Title 505:10-3-2 to Title 505:10-3-4

• (a) Times of meeting. The Board will meet during the month of July for the initial examination and then again in January for the re-examination of any applicant who fails to pass any part of the initial examination.
• (b) Filing of application for examination. A candidate desiring to take the examinations may obtain the official form of application for such purpose from the Executive Director. The application and all necessary information must be filed with the Executive Director at least thirty (30) days before the date of the examination, and the application must be accompanied by an examination fee in the amount of $200.00. A failure to appear for an examination is cause for forfeiture of the examination fee.
• (c) Required passing grade. A candidate must make a passing grade of at least 75 grade points in all subjects of the examination in order to receive a certificate of registration.
• (d) Retaking examination. A candidate who fails to make the necessary passing grade at an examination may re-take the examination on the subjects failed at the January Board Meeting with the payment of an examination fee in the amount of $200.00; but if passing grades are not made on the second examination, a new application for the entire examination must be instituted and another examination fee of $200.00 must be paid.

    Where the information furnished on the application for the license, or for the renewal thereof, appears to establish all requirements for the grant thereof and there appears no reason to question its authenticity, the Board may issue the license, or renewal thereof, without a hearing. However, if there appears reason for a formal consideration of whether the license, or renewal, should be granted, the matter shall be treated as an individual proceeding, wherein the applicant is the petitioner, and the procedure applicable to individual proceedings thereafter shall be followed except as modified by statute or by these rules.
