Sandra passed her Washington broker exam six months ago but has not yet submitted her license application to the DOL. She is now ready to apply. Under Washington law, what is the consequence of waiting more than one year after passing the exam before applying for the license?

Correct Answer

B) Sandra must retake the entire broker examination because her passing score will have expired

In Washington, a passing score on the broker examination is valid for one year from the date of the exam. If an applicant does not submit a complete license application within that one-year window, the passing score expires and the applicant must retake the entire examination (both national and state portions). Sandra passed six months ago, so she is still within the valid period, but had she waited beyond one year, she would need to retake the full exam.

Answer Options
A
Sandra must retake only the state portion of the broker examination before her application will be accepted
B
Sandra must retake the entire broker examination because her passing score will have expired
C
Sandra must complete an additional 30 clock hours of education before her application will be accepted
D
Sandra may still apply without penalty because Washington does not impose an expiration period on passing exam scores
