Eligibility Rules
Eligibility is based on the Exam Eligibility and Retake Policy. Refer to this policy for detailed information about eligibility to attempt the exam. Reminders:
Eligibility and Registration for each Exam
Individuals may register for only one exam administration (fall or spring) at a time. Registrations for one administration are not “held” or carried over to a subsequent administration.
Eligibility and registration requests must be submitted with each application. For example, candidates who register for the “early written” option in fall of their 4th year must submit a new eligibility request and registration for the spring administration. Candidate eligibility is verified and approved before each exam administration.
How your registration is processed
Registrations from all eligible individuals are handled on a first received, first processed basis.
There is NO extension of eligibility or registration deadline dates. The eligibility request deadline and the examination registration deadline will not be extended for any reason. OEBC is not responsible for processing delays which may occur due to missing, incomplete or inaccurate information and which may result in the candidate missing a deadline; OEBC is not responsible for late submissions, for technical difficulties or for any issues involving third party payors; such matters will not be a reason for appeal.
A schedule indicating specific dates and times for the exam will be emailed to the candidate approximately six - eight weeks prior to the exam administration.
OEBC will respond only to written inquiries and will not attempt to interpret exam policies and procedures for any candidate and his/her specific circumstances. OEBC staff strive to respond to inquiries in a timely manner but please keep in mind that during the exam application period, OEBC staff are processing applications and will take longer to respond to inquiries.
