Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Under the Florida licensing examination rules administered under the Department of Financial Services, an applicant may take the examination up to 5 attempts within 12 months, and a passing score remains valid for 1 year for license application purposes. Exhausting the attempts or letting scores expire requires restarting the qualification process.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Attempts are capped within the 12-month window; they are not unlimited.
- B) More than a single retake is available within the statutory attempt limit.
- D) Repeating the prelicensing course is required only after the education completion or score validity lapses, not per retake.
Memory hook
Five tries, twelve months, score good for a year.
