Applicants who fail the written examination for certification as a psychologist or licensure as a psychological associate or the oral examination for licensure as a psychologist are permitted to take it again by paying another exam fee. If the second examination is failed, the applicant may take it again at the next setting. If the third examination is failed, the applicant must wait a full calendar year before the examination may be taken again. This yearly interval applies to all succeeding applications for the examination. The board may adjust this requirement a few days to provide flexibility in the board's scheduling of examinations. In the event of subsequent examinations taken in other jurisdictions, the one-year waiting period applies. Split decisions on the Oral Examination are considered as failures.
