What must you acknowledge when scheduling an exam appointment?

• A. A single general consent.
• B. A general agreement to pay fees.
• C. The ARE policies and procedures, including the ARE Candidate Agreement.
• D. Only the test date.

Answer: (C)

When scheduling an ARE exam, you must acknowledge the policies and procedures, including the ARE Candidate Agreement. This binding step goes beyond just picking a date or paying fees; it confirms you understand and accept the rules governing the exam, such as scheduling, cancellations and rescheduling, exam security, eligibility, privacy, and how scores are handled. The other options don’t cover the full set of terms you’re agreeing to, so acknowledging the policies and the Candidate Agreement is the essential requirement.
