  1. How much time is allotted to complete my exam?

    You have consecutive seventy-five (75) minutes to complete the online exam. Once you begin, the timer cannot be paused.

  2. How long do I have to complete my course?

    Once your course is activated (usually within 1 business day of receipt of payment), you have twelve (12) weeks to complete the course. You can take the course as many times as you'd like in that 12-week period and bounce around portions of the course as much as needed, allowing you to set your own self-study pace.

  3. Can I retake my exam if I don’t pass?
    Yes. Each retake costs $99. You may purchase as many retakes as you need. You don't have to wait a "blackout period" to purchase a retake, but do keep in mind that it does take up to one business day for the retake to be activated in the system.
