THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION
Admission to the Written Examination
The candidate ruled admissible to the examination will be sent a Residency Training Affidavit which must be completed and returned to the Board office.
After submission of the application (but on or before September 17, 2007), verification that the candidate is completing residency in a satisfactory manner must be reaffirmed by the signature of the Director of the residency program on the Residency Training Affidavit, dated within the month the candidate is scheduled to write the examination.
Results of the examination will not be released until the completed affidavit is received by the Board. Those candidates that have completed their residency training and taken the written examination in a prior year do not need to complete/return the affidavit.
Results of the Examination
The results of the written examination will be reported confidentially to each candidate August 1. A candidate may grant the Board permission to release the results of their examination to the candidate's program director.
A passing grade on the written examination does not ensure a candidate's admissibility to the oral examination for certification, nor does it allow the use of the term "Board Eligible". The term "Board Eligible" is NOT APPROVED by the Board for any individual seeking Board certification, or for those who have only completed residency training.
An individual who has completed residency training, but not yet passed the written examination, should be referred to as a "residency graduate". An individual who has passed the written examination should be referred to as an "active candidate" (see TYPES OF BOARD STATUS and Requirements.).
Requests for Re-examination
A candidate scheduled to write the examination but who does not do so, as well as the candidate who writes, but does not pass, the examination must write to the Board office after September 1 to request reapplication materials for the next examination.
It is necessary for each applicant to meet the requirements in effect the year of the requested admission to the examination.
The reapplicant must have submitted completed reapplication materials, a copy of current license with a current expiration date and the re-application fee prior to the November deadline. There is no limit to the number of times a candidate may take the written examination provided the candidate is not subject to sanctions imposed by the Board for misconduct or misbehavior as elsewhere provided herein.
The application and examination fees (see Fees and Dates, Deadlines, Fees and Late Fees for Written Examination) must be paid for each year a candidate is to be scheduled to write an examination.
