Kan. Admin. Regs. § 74-1-3 - Retaking the examination and granting of credits
(a) A testing candidate may take the test
sections individually and in any order. Credit for passing any test section
shall be valid for that test section for 30 months from the date the passing
score for such test section is released by NASBA to the candidate or the board,
as applicable, regardless of the number of test sections taken or having to
attain a minimum score on any failed section(s).
(b) Each testing candidate shall pass all
four test sections within a rolling 30-month period that begins on the date the
first passing score(s) are released by NASBA to the candidate or the board, as
applicable. The rolling 30-month period concludes on the date the candidate
sits for the final test section passed, regardless of when the score is
released by NASBA for the final test section.
(c) A testing candidate who earns initial
credit on one or more of the test section(s) of the examination must sit for
and complete the remaining required test section(s) of the examination by
midnight local time on the last day of the 30-month period.
(d) If all required test section(s) are not
passed within this initial 30-month period, credit for the first test
section(s) passed shall expire and a new rolling 30-month period shall begin on
the date the second passing score(s) were released by NASBA to the candidate or
the board, as applicable, and continue for 30-months from that date. If all
required test section(s) are not passed within this next rolling 30 month
period, credit for the second test section(s) passed shall expire and a new
rolling 30-month period will begin on the date the next test section passing
score, if any, was released by NASBA to the candidate or the board, as
applicable, and this cycle of 30-month rolling periods and test section credit
expirations will continue until all test section(s) are passed within one
30-month rolling period. Despite the foregoing, if a candidate stops testing
for a 30-month period, then all credit for previously passed test sections will
expire.
(e) A testing candidate
shall not retake a failed test section until the candidate has been notified of
the score for the most recent attempt of that failed test section.
(f) A testing candidate shall be deemed to
have passed the examination if the candidate obtains credit for passing all
required test sections in one rolling 30-month period.
(g) Each testing candidate shall retain
credit for any and all required test sections of the examination passed as a
candidate of another state if that credit would have been given under the
applicable requirements in this state.
(h) Despite the provisions of subsections
(a), (b), and (c), the period of time in which to pass all test sections of the
examination may be extended by the board upon a showing that the credit was
lost by reason of circumstances beyond the testing candidate's
control.
