Registration, Testing, and Cost
Use the official registration system for current fees, testing windows, accommodations, appointment rules, and permitted materials. Third-party summaries should never control a time-sensitive decision.
Scoring, Retakes, and Renewal
Review the current official policies for score reporting, passing decisions, retake waiting periods, renewal cycles, and continuing education. Convert any score report into a domain-specific remediation plan.
