Which statement about the rolling clock policy is accurate?

• A. The rolling clock has a universal duration that applies equally to all candidates.
• B. The rolling clock is defined by the jurisdiction and may be amended.
• C. Extensions are not available.
• D. The rolling clock ends when the candidate completes the ARE.

Answer: (B)

The rolling clock duration is determined by the licensing jurisdiction and can be amended. This means there isn’t a single nationwide time limit; each state or territory may set its own window for completing all ARE divisions once you begin, and they can adjust that window if needed. Extensions or accommodations may be available under specific circumstances, depending on the jurisdiction. The clock ends after the jurisdiction-defined window expires, not simply when you finish all divisions.
