Rules of Conduct for Examinations
The specific rules pertaining to the conduct of the examinations are printed on the front of the examination book.Read them carefully before answering the first question. Candidates are expected to exercise honest and ethical behavior during the exams.

Time Limitation
The Board of Examiners realizes that many applicants are employed on a full-time basis and, as such, are limited in the amount of time available to prepare for the examinations. Without some guiding time requirement, however, candidates tend to lose the concept of the examination program and the material covered. Therefore, the Board of Examiners has established a five (5) year
maximum time limit for acceptance of completed requirements. The five year time period begins after the successful completion of the first examination, or receipt of the first waiver. The time limitation may not be waived without the approval of the Board of Examiners.
