    1.  If a person subsequently fails the examination, upon receipt and recording of the person's examination score by the Board, such person may retake the examination every ninety (90) days until the person passes, or until one (1) year from the date of issuance of the provisional license;

    2.  Upon receipt and recording of a person’s passing score by the Board, the provisional license will be replaced by a permanent license; and
