Why D is correct
Under the Tennessee examination procedures administered by TDCI, a candidate who fails the examination for the first time must wait 10 days before retaking it; after each subsequent failure the wait becomes 30 days. Separately, all candidates must wait 24 hours before booking a retake regardless of the longer waiting period, so the 10-day rule governs when the first retest can actually occur.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 30 days is the waiting period after each subsequent failure, not after the first failure.
- B) 14 days is the window for requesting an excused absence after missing an exam, not the retake waiting period.
- C) 48 hours is the wait after passing before applying electronically and the change/cancellation cutoff for appointments; the first-failure retake wait is 10 days.
Memory hook
First flop, ten days; second slip, thirty — Tennessee makes failures wait.
