What happens if the person who holds a trainee license does not take the next examination after the date of issue, according to the licensing rules, assuming no good cause is shown?

• A. The license will be renewed
• B. The license will not be renewed unless you can show good cause
• C. The license will be revoked
• D. No effect

Answer: (B)

When you hold a trainee license, renewal is conditioned on taking the next required examination by the specified date. If the person does not sit for that exam and no good cause is shown, there is no basis to renew the trainee license. The rules are meant to ensure progress toward full licensure, so skipping the next exam without an approved reason means renewal cannot be granted. Therefore, the license will not be renewed unless good cause is shown. The other options imply outcomes (renewal, revocation, or no effect) that don’t align with the requirement to take the next examination to maintain eligibility.
