When must a candidate take the reexamination after receiving notice of their results?

The requirement for a candidate to take the reexamination within a specific time frame after receiving their results is an important aspect of maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the certification process. Candidates are given a window of 90 days to retake the exam, which allows them sufficient time to prepare and address any areas where they may have struggled previously.

This 90-day window is structured to ensure candidates do not rush into retaking the exam without adequately preparing, while also preventing excessive delays that could hinder their ability or motivation to requalify as legal document preparers.

In contrast, shorter periods would potentially pressure candidates and might not allow enough time for improvement. Longer intervals could diminish candidates' readiness and commitment to succeed, making the 90-day requirement a balanced approach that encourages a diligent but reasonable preparation period.
