If the exam is failed three times, the applicant will be required to take another (12) hour course before he or she can retake the exam.

(b) A nonrefundable examination fee will be charged each time an applicant takes the certified chiropractic assistant examination.

(c) In order to pass the certified chiropractic examination, the applicant must receive a score of seventy percent (70%) or higher.
