The administrative section shall schedule examinations at least four times a year. The dates of the examinations shall be determined by the appropriate specialty sections in consultation with the approved testing agency authorized to administer the examinations. The examinations shall be held in Columbus, Ohio or any other location the administrative section deems necessary. The administrative section may limit the number of applicants at any examination in order to adequately accommodate and supervise the administration of the examination.

 

(B)   The appropriate specialty section shall provide a written examination for applicants seeking a license pursuant to Chapter 4740. of the Ohio Revised Code. The section may, upon the request of an applicant, permit oral examinations comparable to the written examinations, if the section determines that an applicant's ability to perform during written examinations is substantially impaired for any identifiable reason. The section may, upon request of an applicant, permit examinations in other than the English language, if the section determines that the applicant's ability to perform is substantially impaired due to a lack of fluency in the English language.

(D)   Applicants shall pass the examination to the satisfaction of the appropriate specialty section. An applicant that has attained a score of seventy percent on each section of the examination shall be deemed to have satisfactorily passed the examination.

 

(E)   The examinations shall be initially graded by the authorized testing agency. After the initial grading has been completed, the appropriate specialty section shall verify final grades to the examinations. After verifying final grades to the examinations, the appropriate specialty section shall approve the results of the examinations.
