What is the consequence of viewing 75% or more of the items on your exam before a technical issue?

• A. You will be subject to the 60-day retest policy
• B. You will be disqualified from the next attempt
• C. You will receive no retest option
• D. You will be granted an extension

Answer: (A)

Viewing a large portion of the exam items before a technical issue is treated as a security violation. In ARE 5.0, that level of exposure triggers a 60-day waiting period before you can retake. This rule is in place to preserve fairness and prevent exploitation of a disruption by giving you extensive access to item content. It’s not a disqualification or an automatic extension; rather, you must wait 60 days and then may schedule another attempt, subject to the usual retake rules.
