Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Under the state's testing program run by the vendor under contract with the Massachusetts Division of Insurance, reservations must be changed or canceled at least 48 hours ahead of the appointment; otherwise the examination fee — paid at reservation and nonrefundable — is forfeited. Walk-in testing is not available, and candidates are expected to report 30 minutes early. Rescheduling discipline is therefore part of examination planning in Massachusetts.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) There is no automatic no-charge reschedule; a missed appointment without timely notice forfeits the fee.
- B) The Division does not refund missed examinations; the reservation is managed with the testing vendor and forfeited if not changed at least 48 hours ahead.
- C) Fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable; cancellation is only free when made at least 48 hours ahead.
Memory hook
Forty-eight hours' notice or the fee is gone — no walk-ins, arrive 30 minutes early.
