For a license renewed within two years of expiration, which is true about testing?

• A. A full retest is required
• B. Only a written exam is required
• C. No test is required
• D. A short refresher test is required

Answer: (C)

The situation tests how expiration timing affects testing when renewing a license. If you renew within two years after the license has expired, no exam is required. This window is designed to keep licensure continuous for those who act promptly, so the board waives the testing portion and you’d only need to meet the usual renewal steps, such as paying the renewal fee and completing any required continuing education. A full retest is typically triggered if the renewal happens after the two-year window, not within it. Similarly, a written exam or a short refresher test isn’t required in this timeframe because the policy allows renewal without testing when done within two years of expiration.
