154A.11  Examinations.

Examinations for licensing shall be given as often as deemed necessary by the board, but no less than one time per year. The scope of the examination and methods of procedure shall be prescribed by the board. Any written examination may be given by representatives of the board.

All examinations in theory shall be in writing and the identity of the person taking the examination shall be concealed until after the examination papers have been graded. For examinations in practice, the identity of the person taking the examination shall also be concealed as far as possible.

As soon as practicable after the close of each examination, a report shall be filed by the board. The report shall show the action of the board upon each application, and the department shall notify each applicant of the result of the applicant's examination. Applicants who fail the examination once shall be allowed to take the examination at the next scheduled time. Thereafter, the applicant shall be allowed to take the examination at the discretion of the board.

An applicant who has failed the examination may request in writing information from the board concerning the applicant's examination grade and subject areas or questions which the applicant failed to answer correctly, except that if the board administers a uniform, standardized examination, the board shall only be required to provide the examination grade and such other information concerning the applicant's examination results which are available to the board.
