Which rule governs new eligibility to test after failing a division?

• A. Based on jurisdiction rules.
• B. Based on NCARB's standard policy.
• C. Based on the candidate's prior performance.
• D. Based on the division's difficulty.

Answer: (A)

Eligibility to test after failing a division is determined by the licensing jurisdiction. While NCARB runs the ARE and sets the overall testing framework, the right to schedule another attempt rests with the state board or licensing authority in the jurisdiction where you’ll seek licensure. That board may require a waiting period, additional documentation, or other conditions before you can re-test, and these requirements vary by jurisdiction. So, you must check the specific rules of the state where licensure will be sought.
