  • Candidates are expected to pass the exam on their own merit.
  • The purpose of the exam is to protect the public by ensuring each candidate is a trustworthy and competent individual.
  • Candidates pursuing exam takers for exam information are encouraging candidates to commit illegal acts and to jeopardize their integrity and can be disqualified from taking the exam.
