Which statement describes how CEUs beyond 20 are handled?

• A. They are not credited in the next biennial period.
• B. They are not credited in the current biennial period.
• C. They are credited toward the first 20 CEUs.
• D. They are refunded to the licensee.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how CEU credits are treated across biennial periods. In New Jersey, a licensee must complete 20 CEUs in each biennial period to stay compliant. Credits earned beyond that 20 in a given period do not carry over to the next period. They don’t count toward the next period’s requirement, so you’d need to earn another 20 CEUs in the following biennium regardless of any excess from the prior period. The extras simply don’t apply to future periods.

Why the other ideas don’t fit: extras still can help satisfy the current period’s 20, they don’t boost the next period’s credit total, and there’s no refund for CEUs beyond the requirement.
