When the Board has approved your application, the Board office will send you the examination registration form.

Complete and submit the registration form and $70 examination fee to Prometric, the testing service.

The exams are given the first Saturday in February, May, August and November.

You must obtain a minimum score of 75% to pass the exam. After you pass, submit the following to the Board office:

Re-Taking the Exam

If you fail the exam and wish to re-take it, contact the Board office to request another registration form. However, if you fail two consecutive times with a grade of less than 50% each time, you must wait one year before re-testing. See Section 4.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
