When can an applicant retake the examination if they fail?

An applicant who fails the examination is allowed to retake it after a waiting period of 60 days. This policy is in place to ensure that applicants have adequate time to study and prepare for the exam again, thereby improving their chances of success on their next attempt. The designated period is specifically established to balance the need for candidates to gain additional knowledge with the administrative processes involved in re-registering for the exam. This structure helps to maintain the integrity of the licensing process, ensuring that candidates are sufficiently prepared to meet the requirements for licensure in Louisiana.
