Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-284(H), after a fourth failure on the same examination line the applicant must wait one year before retrying that line. The bar is temporary, not permanent, and continuing education has nothing to do with exam eligibility — the remedy is preparation during the one-year wait.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Wrong because the fourth failure exhausts the four attempts allowed per twelve-month period under A.R.S. 20-284(H); no immediate paid retake is available.
- C) Wrong because the consequence is a one-year wait, not a permanent bar; the applicant may retry the line after the year passes.
- D) Wrong because continuing education is a renewal-time requirement under Arizona law and plays no role in examination retake eligibility.
Memory hook
Fourth strike means one full year off that exam line.
