Board approval of an applicant for examination entitles the applicant to admission to the next four consecutive examination offerings without reapplication. Following the first offering to which the applicant is entitled to admission, the applicant shall not be admitted to any of the succeeding three examination offerings except upon payment of a fee for each examination, to be determined by the board. Admission to any future examinations will be at the discretion of the board which may require the applicant to file a new application. An examination offering occurs regardless of whether the applicant attends.
