What can you request if you need an extension to the rolling clock?

• A. A replacement exam appointment.
• B. A temporary waiver of the rolling clock.
• C. An extension for personal convenience not listed.
• D. An extension for reasons like birth or adoption of a child, serious medical conditions, or active military service.

Answer: (D)

Extensions to the rolling clock are available only for specific life events that can disrupt your ability to complete all exams within the allotted time. The permitted reasons include birth or adoption of a child, a serious medical condition, or active military service. These events are recognized by NCARB as legitimate causes to extend the rolling clock, so this option is the correct one.

Other ideas don’t fit because they aren’t part of the policy: rescheduling a single exam doesn’t extend the overall time window; a temporary waiver isn’t a recognized mechanism; and extensions for personal convenience not listed aren’t allowed. If you experience one of the qualifying events, you would submit a request with appropriate documentation for consideration.
