Scheduling exams:
Exams may be scheduled at any time. The only requirement is that the date, time and location of the exam session must be publicly announced beforehand. This announcement may take any of several forms, and should be available at least 3 days (1 week or more is preferred) before the session is to take place. The session could be advertised by placing printed announcements on bulletin boards (in public places) or in store windows, or by on the air announcements during nets, or by similar means. If the session is a closed session (not available to walk-in’s) then the exam session must still be publicized, plus the announcement should tell why the session is a closed session. Reasons for closed sessions might include a session for one or more handicapped persons who have special requirements, or as part of a ham radio class.
Walk-in’s (no prior appointment) are normally accepted at all exam sessions, if they show up on time (and room is available). For the convenience of the examiners, you may require appointments (pre-registration) for your sessions. Pre-registration is normally used to assure that at least some minimum number of applicants will be present.
Number of VE’s required and prohibited practices:
At least 3 Anchorage ARC accredited examiners must be present during the entire session (4 examiners is a better arrangement if sufficient personnel are available). Only VE’s holding accreditation by the Anchorage ARC VEC may participate in exam sessions. Note that being a VE for another organization, such as ARRL or W5YI, does not prevent a person from also being a VE for the Anchorage ARC VEC. A person may hold accreditation from as many separate VEC groups as he or she wishes.
Anchorage ARC VE’s are not permitted to participate in exams given to immediate family members, where the examinee’s relationship to the VE is any of the following: spouse or spouse equivalent, child, parent, brother or sister, grandparent or grandchild, aunt or uncle, neice or nephew, step-child, step-parent, or in-laws.
Examiners may not discuss (with examinees, or anyone else who is not an accredited VE) actual exam materials, or which test series is being used.
One VE at each session will be designated as the "contact" or "lead" VE". This person will be responsible for assuring that all VE’s at the session meet the requirements for administering exams at that session. This person is also responsible for assuring that all forms and exam materials are filled out correctly, and are returned promptly.
New Procedure! The name and call of each VE at the session should be entered on the "Green Sheet" for each session. In the event of questions, it makes it easier to figure out what to do, and makes sure we can cross check our records for VE eligibility if necessary. Put this information on the reverse side of the "green sheet", in the "notes" section at the bottom of the page. Please print each name and call for best readability.
Make sure all VE’s at the session are accredited and qualified! Each Anchorage AARC VE will listed on the AARC VEC web site. Check the VEC web site or with Jim Wiley to verify their eligibility before accepting a person as a VE. The reason this is important is that if it should turn out that an examiner is not AARC VEC certified, and signs any of the paperwork for an applicant, it becomes void! The application cannot be processed, and the applicant will have to resubmit his or her application, and be required to re-take (and pass) any examinations. This will create ill will and be unfair to the applicant. To make sure this unfortunate situation does not occur, make sure each VE at the session is certified and listed as an active VE. The list of active VE’s will be updated periodically and will also be posted on the internet, at:
http://www.kl7aa.net.com/VEC/vecmain.html
This site may also be accessed via the AARC main page at:
(look in "links" at the bottom of the page, and select "VE Listing" ). Jim, KL7CC, is also able to tell you the status of all registered and certified AARC VE’s.
Each application will be cross checked before it is submitted to verify that only Anchorage ARC certified VE’s have signed the forms.
Who may give exams:
Individuals holding a valid Amateur radio license for each class listed may give exams for the groups listed. At least 3 examiners holding the necessary license are required to administer an exam element. If not all of the VE’s at a session are of the same license class, then only those elements for which at least 3 qualified examiners are present may be given.
Extra class: All Amateur licenses (elem. 2, 3 and 4)
Advanced class: General (elem. 3) and Technician (elem. 2)
General class: Technician (elem. 2)
Technician, Tech Plus, and Novice licensees are not permitted to be volunteer examiners.
Obtaining test materials:
Exam kits may be obtained by request. Send an email (or call or write) to Jim Wiley, KL7CC, who is the Anchorage ARC VEC Chairman. He can be reached by any of the following:
Mail: Anchorage ARC VEC
c/o Jim Wiley, KL7CC
PO Box 670616
Chugiak, AK, 99567-0616
Phone: (907) 338-0662
Email: jwiley@alaska.net
There is no charge to receive exam materials. You will be responsible for payment of return shipping charges (postage or other carrier). You may request reimbursement of exam shipping fees provided receipts are submitted. Submit reimbursement requests to: Jim Wiley, Anchorage ARC VEC, at the address given. Allow 8 to 10 weeks for checks to arrive. For most situations, return via US Postal Service Priority Mail (not Express mail) is the most practical option. We also recommend that you request "Delivery Confirmation" so that in the event of misrouting, finding the errant package is easier and faster.
Returning Exam kits: Used exam kits should be returned to Jim Wiley, at the PO Box 670616 address. Do not send kits to the PO Box 101987 address. Used exam kits and any paperwork associated with the exam session must be mailed to VEC headquarters within 5 business days of the exam date.
If any paperwork is delayed (as for example, waiting for copies of licenses) beyond the 5 business day window, then you should still send in all materials, with a note attached to any special cases explaining why any missing paperwork is still outstanding. Persons sending in late paperwork should be directed to send it to Jim Wiley, using the PO Box 112573 address. Applications missing required paperwork will be held (not processed) until all items are complete.
Charging for exams:
Some VEC’s charge a nominal fee for each exam given, to cover the costs of providing exam materials. This is allowed by the FCC rules that established the VEC program. The Anchorage ARC VEC does not, however, charge for exams at this time, and all examiners accredited via the Anchorage ARC VEC are prohibited from charging examinees for any aspect of their testing. It is possible that this policy may be changed at some future date, but for now, all exams given via the Anchorage ARC VEC are free to everyone.
Control of test materials:
Completed exams and unused exam kits/materials must be returned promptly, and all exam materials must be kept under strict control and in confidence before, during and after the exam session. Completed exams should be returned (mailed) within 5 business days following the exam session. You must notify Jim, KL7CC, immediately if there is any problem with the exam materials, or if any aspect of the exam has been compromised in any way, or if any irregularities occur during the exam.
Return all materials used in exam sessions. Make sure you send everything that was used during an exam session. This includes all test materials, scratch paper, code copy sheets, answer sheets, and even spoiled forms. Send everything that in any way contains any reference to any action that took place during the exam session.
Once an exam kit has been opened and used for a test of any kind, it must be sent back to the VEC for recycling. An exam kit may not be held to give exams on more than one day, or at more than one exam session. Unused / unopened exam kits may be held for subsequent exam sessions, provided that you have notified Jim Wiley of your intention to do so, and have received approval for the action.
CSCE Forms:
CSCE (Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination) forms: Persons who have previously taken and passed an element of the Amateur Radio exam series, but who have not yet received a new or upgraded license will have CSCE forms for each of the elements they have passed. CSCE forms are valid for 365 calendar days from the original issue date. Expired CSCE forms may not be used to claim credit for any exam element! I
Very important! Special notes for Technician and Tech Plus licensees wishing to upgrade to General or Extra Class:
According to current FCC policies, no new Tech Plus licenses will be issued. Also, existing Tech Plus licenses, when renewed, will no longer say "Tech Plus" but will revert to ordinary "Technician", as far as the FCC furnished license document is concerned. The FCC database will likewise be changed to "T" (Technician) from "P" (Tech Plus) designator upon renewal.
Remember:
CSCE forms for any element are only good for 365 days! There are no exceptions.
Anchorage ARC VEC will accept valid CSCE forms from any valid VEC, including ARRL, W5YI, or any other VEC. Only the original (top) copy of the CSCE form is acceptable, and must have the original signatures (in ink). (See also special exception to this rule, below)
CSCE Special exception: Photocopies may, in special circumstances, be acceptable provided they contain the valid original signatures (in ink) of 3 current Anchorage ARC VE’s (in addition to any signatures that may appear on the copied original) attesting that the copy is a certified copy of an original CSCE form, and a reasonable explanation of why the original is not available. Acceptance of photocopied CSCE forms will be considered on a case by case basis, and acceptance is NOT guaranteed.
When filling out CSCE forms, circle the element numbers for any elements taken and passed at that session only. Obliterate (cross out) every other element and temporary license class that are not applicable to that particular CSCE. Example: If a person holds a "Technician" license and takes and passes element 3 (and no other elements), then you would circle both the "Written Theory 3" and "General\AG" in columns 2 and 3 respectively, and cross out everything else. If a person passes more than one element, circle all elements passed, and the appropriate line in column 3, crossing out everything else. Make sure that 3 VE’s sign the form in the appropriate spaces, and that the examinee signs the form above his or her printed name and address.
If the action is a "paper upgrade" – where (for example) a person holding a Technician class license issued before March 21, 1987 is applying for an "instant upgrade" to general class, mark the CSCE form as "Paper upgrade" by writing those words into the form in an available clear space, preferably near the middle of the form. Paper upgrades still require a completed (and signed) form 605.
Do not mark credit for elements (or operating privileges) accounted for on other CSCE’s (or licenses) on a CSCE form prepared at a current session. Enter only the element(s) passed at the current session on a new CSCE form.
CSCE forms are not required if the only action being taken is to renew an existing license. Licenses may be renewed any time within 90 days before the license is scheduled to expire. Renewal applications cannot be processed if more than 90 days exist before license expiration.
( a correctly filled out form 605 and a copy of the license are still needed, however).
If the examinee holds more than 1 CSCE, return the original copies of those CSCE forms (if any) to the examinee at the close of the examination session. Indicate on the "green sheet" that the examinee has a CSCE for the element in question, and give the issue date of the CSCE for that element. See also – new procedure requiring copies for previous CSCE forms (below).
New procedure! Submit a copy of any applicable previous CSCE form(s) with upgrade. While we will have (yellow) copies on file of original CSCE forms issued by the Anchorage ARC VEC, we are requiring that copies of these forms be submitted with upgrades. The original (white copy) of the CSCE should remain with the applicant, as it is their only proof of having successfully passed an element – at least until their new license arrives.
Before an application can be submitted (sent to the FCC), we must verify that all of the required elements have been passed. To do this, we must match the current application with previously submitted paperwork. It has proven difficult and time consuming to search our files for the yellow copies of CSCE’s and match them to new applications. It will save time and aggravation for our person filing the paperwork if a photocopy of the CSCE is submitted. This should be no additional burden, since the applicant is already providing a photocopy of his or her license to submit with their new application.
Also – in the event the applicant has a CSCE from another VEC, such as ARRL or W5YI, we will of course not have a copy in our files. In this case, it is absolutely necessary for us to obtain a copy of that form to keep with the new submission. Otherwise, we will have no corroborating documentation to indicate that an applicant has in fact passed any and all prerequisite elements before a new license (or upgrade) can be issued. If copies of original CSCE forms are not immediately available, ask the examinee to mail us one ASAP. Remember! The examinee should keep the originals of any CSCE forms in their possession until they expire or are no longer needed.
Return the signed top copy (white) of the CSCE to the examinee. They will need to present it (and any other CSCE forms they hold) at subsequent testing sessions, until their new or upgraded license arrives by mail. The second (yellow) copy of the CSCE form should be attached to the form 605, together with any answer sheets and other papers for each examinee, and returned with the exam materials.
All CSCE forms must be accounted for. If a form is spoiled, mark it as VOID and return it with all the rest of the paperwork for that session to VEC headquarters. You are NOT permitted to keep a quantity of CSCE forms "on hand" for later use.
Copy of license required:
For any upgrade (or renewal), a copy (or original) of a valid license must be provided. Photocopies of licenses are acceptable, and are the preferred method. Applications submitted without proof of license will be held (not processed) until such documentation has been received. If a license is not available, in some cases other verification of a person’s previously licensed status is acceptable. Such verification may be in the form of a document from the FCC indicating that the person holds (held) a valid license for the period in question or a printout of a web page (such as QRZ.com) showing the pertinent information, or a listing in a published call book. Such alternate documentation is subject to additional independent verification, and acceptance is not guaranteed in all cases.
NCVEC Form 605:
To print your own copy of NCVEC form 605, click here
Each application for a new (or upgraded) license must include a correctly filled out form 605. Only the NCVEC form 605 may be used. The FCC form 605 is a different document, and does not contain the information needed. NCVEC form 605’s are included with each exam kit. Photocopies of this form are acceptable. Older form 610’s are no longer acceptable.
The form 605 must be signed and dated in ink. Fill in all applicable blocks. If a person has an application on file that has not been acted upon, we will hold any new actions until previous applications have been processed. This normally takes only a few days.
Please encourage applicants to provide a telephone number or email address, should we need to contact them. If no phone or email is provided, and questions arise, delays in processing will occur while standard mail communications go back and forth. All information on the 605 form is held in confidence and is not released to anyone except the FCC.
Administering VE portion of form 605: Fill in the bottom portion of form 605 with all applicable data. Be sure the box is marked showing what action resulted. Only one of the 4 available boxes should be marked. Be sure to put the date and location of the exam session in the box to the right, and enter "C" or "C-11" (either) in the box labeled "VEC organization". Do not fill in "VEC Receipt date". Be sure the there are 3 valid names and signatures for each form 605 where a new license or upgrade was earned. Form 605’s showing "No new license or upgrade was earned" do not require signatures (this is accounted for on the CSCE form).
Social Security Account Number (SSAN) or Taxpayer ID Number (TIN) required:
Note: See "FRN" below for applicants already posessing an FCC issued license
The FCC’s Universal Licensing System (ULS) requires that a valid SSAN or TIN be supplied before a license can be issued or upgraded. If a person is already registered with the ULS, they may give their ULS License ID number in lieu of a SSAN or TIN. We cannot process applications that lack a SSAN, TIN, or FCC/ULS License ID number. We strongly recommend using a SSAN if at all possible, to insure that the application gets processed properly.
Aliens: Persons who are not US citizens (resident aliens or visiting foreign nationals) must have a USA mailing address. Also, resident aliens will still need to have a TIN (or SSAN) before their application can be filed. Licensees needing an Assigned TIN (ATIN) should contact FCC Technical Support at 202-414-1250; or send an e-mail to: ulscomm@fcc.gov
Visitors from other countries (tourists) are eligible for FCC licenses, but they must give a USA mailing address to receive their license, and of course their TIN or ATIN.
Why do we need a SSAN or TIN?
SSAN’s are required for all government actions by law. This law is commonly known as "The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996." Congress enacted the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) as part of an effort to increase collection of delinquent government debts. As a result of the DCIA, the Commission and other executive agencies are required to collect Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) from each entity doing business with a Federal agency, including applicants for, or recipients of, a Federal license or permit. Even though amateur licenses and renewals are free, the law still requires the FCC to collect this information. There are no exceptions.
FRN: If the applicant already holds a license, it will be associated with an 10 digit Federal Registration Number. It will look something like this sample: 0001239876. Be sure to include the FRN on the 605 form for each applicant where it is available. If we have a FRN, we do not need to collect the applicant's Social Security Number or TIN.
Code tests:
Code exams are no longer required for any level of Amateur Radio license. Also, we do not offer code tests "just for fun" if the applicant should request one.
Theory exams:
Each written exam consists of either 35 questions (Technician and General) or 50 questions (Extra). There is no time limit for the completion of the exam. Examinees must achieve a score of 74% to pass the exam. Each answer key is marked to indicate how many questions must be passed (or how many may be missed) to pass the exam. In the event of a disputed answer, the VEC board will determine if credit should be given for a particular question. Their decision is final.
Each exam has a serial number. This number should be entered on the answer sheet, together with the name of the examinee and the date of the exam session. The serial number of the exam booklet indicates which element it represents. Answer sheets missing names and/or element serial numbers will not be graded, and will count as failures.
Answers should be marked by completely blackening the appropriate circle (theory) or circling the correct answer letter (A, B, C, or D) on code exams. Circling the answer on theory exams may result in incorrect scoring because of the way the answer keys are set up.
Also: Ask examinees to write their name on any scratch paper used, and submit it with the exam answer sheet for the element taken.
Caution the examinees not to mark anything in the test booklet.
Grading exams:
Answer sheets are provided in the exam kit for written (theory) exams. Only one answer may be filled in for each question. If more than one space is marked, the question must be counted as a wrong answer, even if one of the spaces marked is the correct answer. Because of the way the theory tests are scored, it would be possible for a sheet with multiple answers to be scored incorrectly. You should inspect visually each submitted answer sheet to verify that no question has more than one answer marked. Erasures are permitted if it is clear that the erased answer has been cleaned as carefully as possible. For this reason, only pencil should be used to mark answer sheets. Use a RED pen to mark incorrect answers. Each scoring sheet indicates how many questions must be answered correctly to pass the exam. Examinees are not permitted to know which (if any) questions they missed, or to discuss specific questions with the examiners.
Exception: If there is concern that a particular question is defective (having no correct answer, or missing something needed to determine the answer), then you should make a note explaining what the problem seems to be, attach it to the form 605 for that examinee, and submit it to the VEC board for arbitration. If the VEC board determines that the defective question is in fact unanswerable as presented, the examinee MAY be given credit for the question at a later date. This could result in changing a "fail" to a "pass". Each instance will be considered separately, and the decision of the VEC board is final.
Order of Elements:
Important note: VE’s are required to see the CSCE form (or applicable license) for any element credit claimed by the examinee, before permitting them to take a subsequent element. Unless you know the examinee, and are willing to vouch for them, do not accept someone’s word that an element has been passed but that they have "lost", "misplaced", or "forgotten" their CSCE (or license) for that element. If you are confident that the person has the required CSCE (or license) covering a required element, you may permit them to take the exam for a subsequent element, with the understanding that no action can be taken until you, and the other VE’s at that session, have seen the missing item(s). Some good sense judgment may be required on your part if this happens. See the next 2 paragraphs for further amplification.
If a person takes an element out of sequence, that is to say he or she takes a "higher" element before successfully completing the exam for a "lower" element, then a CSCE is issued for the element passed, but a license upgrade cannot be done until any missing "lower" elements are also passed. In the vent this happens, be sure and write on the CSCE form a note that makes mention of the fact that the "lower" element has not been taken and that the CSCE by itself cannot be used for an upgrade unless accompanied by a separate valid CSCE for the missing element.
Re-testing:
There is no time limit on re-testing. If a person fails an element, he or she may take the test again immediately, provided a different exam kit is available. A person may not immediately retake the same element from the same kit as the one they have just failed. It is up to the VE team (not the applicant) to determine if immediate re-testing is appropriate and will be allowed. Their decision is final.
Guidelines: To prevent "useless" wasting of an exam kit, we recommend that immediate re-testing be limited to certain specific circumstances. If a person has failed an element by only 1 or 2 questions, or if they have come a long way at some expense to attend the exam session (or both) then immediate re-testing may be considered. If a person has failed an exam by a large margin, immediate re-testing would probably be a waste of time and materials, and the examinee should be encouraged to try additional study before making another attempt. Once an exam kit has been opened and used for a test of any kind, it must be sent back to VEC headquarters for recycling. An exam kit may not be retained and used to give exams on more than one day, or at more than one exam session on a given day. In some cases, exam kits are sent to other areas where they are "staged" for later use, but in any case, once an exam kit has been actually opened and used to give one or more exam(s), it must be returned to the VEC.
Exception: If more examinees arrive for an exam session than there are testing materials available to accommodate all of the applicants (for a particular element) in a single sitting, materials may be re-used at that single session only. In such an instance, care must be taken to insure that those applicants who have seen the materials do not communicate with others who have not yet taken their tests. If a session "closes" (ends) and the examiners leave the testing area, then the exam kit(s) used at that session may not be re-used, and must be returned for recycling as described above. Normally, sufficient materials are available in each exam kit to accommodate up to 10 applicants for each element simultaneously.
Administrative filings:
If someone asks you for some "spare" NCVEC form 605’s (as, for example, to be used to renew their license or submit a change of address), it is OK to give them one or 2 copies, but remember that you could run short if too many are given out before a testing session. Remind those persons requesting form 605’s that photocopies are acceptable, and that additional copies can be obtained from the ARRL web site (www.arrl.org) and printed locally as needed. NCVEC form 605's can also be obtained from this site. Click here to print form 605.
We will also be glad to file the paperwork for these people. Request that they fill out a NCVEC form 605, attach a copy of their present license, and mark the form 605 for the action required (renewal, change of address, etc.) and we will send it in with the next batch of data we submit. Remember that we must have a valid SSAN, TIN, or FCC ULS ID number (FRN) before we can enter the data. Vanity call applications cannot be handled in this manner! We do NOT do vanity call sign applications. Renewals cannot be processed if the time before license expiration exceeds 90 days.
You call also mention to these types of applicants that they can do the job themselves via the web. Instruct them to go the ARRL home page (www.arrl.org) and look for "license renewal". A direct link to the renewal instructions, and explanation of the ULS procedures is available at: http://www.arrl.org/fcc/uls-qa.html
There is no charge for this service.
The "Green Sheet".
The "green sheet" is a page (printed on green paper) that is used to summarize what happened at that exam session. It should be filled out so that every person who was present at the session is named somewhere on the page, whether they are an applicant or a VE, and whether they passed., failed, applied for a paper upgrade, or a renewal.
Example follows:
Location: ________ANCHORAGE, AK__________________ Date: ______08 AUG 2000 ________
Account for every element. If the person taking the exam has a license, insert "L" in the block for that element. If the person has a CSCE for a previously passed element, insert "C" and the date. If a person passes an element, insert "P". If a person fails an element, insert "F". Insert a check mark in the last block if a CSCE for any element was issued during this session. Example: A person holding a Technician class license and a CSCE for element 3 takes and pasases the exam for element 4. You would insert "C" under element 3, plus the date on the CSCE, "L" in the space for element 2, and "P" for element 4, and a check mark showing a new CSCE was issued. CSCE’s are valid for 365 days (1 year) from their date of issue. Enter any special notes on the reverse side.

(1) The first applicant holds a "Technician" class license. He also has a CSCE for element 3. He took and passed element 4. He upgrades from "Technician" to "Extra" (because he also has a CSCE for element 3, making him effectively a General). A new CSCE was issued for element 4 only.
(2) The second applicant does not presently have a license. She took and passed all the elements, 2 through 4. She is qualified to receive a new "Amateur Extra" license. A CSCE was issued.
(3) The third applicant holds a "Technician" license. He took and passed element 3, but failed element 4. He upgrades his license to "General". A CSCE was issued.
(4) The fourth applicant holds a "Tech Plus" license. He attempted element 3, but failed to pass. No upgrade occurs, and no CSCE is issued. Element 4 was not attempted, and was lined out.
(5) The fifth applicant is a "paper upgrade". She held a "Technician" license, issued before March 21, 1987. She is qualified for "instant upgrade" to "General" because she has passed both elements 1 and (the old version of) element 3 at some previous date. A CSCE is issued, but no new elements were attempted. Enter the issue date of the old license as shown. If the exact issue date is not available, as for example when using a callbook reference to verify issuance, then enter the publication date of the reference used or any other suitable benchmark that will tell us that the license was issued on or before 03/21/87. For example, if the reference is a callbook page dated 1978, enter L / CB1978. Be sure to include the reference printout or page photocopy with the application. Callbook pages all have the publication date on each page. Be sure the date is shown on the copy being submitted.
Cleaning up at the end of the session:
When the session is complete, and (hopefully) before the examinees have left the testing area, you should use the following checklist to make sure nothing has been overlooked.
1. Are all form 605’s signed and dated (in ink) by the examinees?
2. Are the form 605’s marked to indicate if an upgrade (or no upgrade) was earned?
3. Do all form 605’s include the signatures of 3 VE’s who attended the session, if the action resulted in a new license or upgrade? (signatures not required for elements passed but not resulting in an upgrade or new license)
4. Do all form 605’s include the SSAN or TIN of the examinee? And a contact telephone or number (and/or email address) if available?
5. Do all form 605’s have the other paperwork attached for that examinee? Attach the yellow copy of newly generated CSCE forms, photocopies of licenses and/or previous CSCE forms (as applicable), exam answer sheets, code copy sheets, and scratch paper. Include EVERYTHING that relates to the test(s) taken.
6. Have you marked the "green sheet" for each person that attended the session, and accounted for every element, either by license, previous CSCE (with date) or newly passed? Including those who failed?
7. Did you write the name and call of every VE at the session on the back of the "green sheet" in the "Notes" area at the bottom of the page? (please print)
8. Did you group the finished paperwork by: (a) pass (b) fail (c) "paper upgrade" or (d) renewal, as applicable? And put a "sticky-note" on the top page of each bundle, labeled accordingly? Use rubber bands or paper clips (if available) to keep like items together.
9. Do all the CSCE forms include the signature of the examinee?
10. Do all the CSCE forms have only the elements passed (and any interim privileges) marked, and all other elements and interim privilege labels crossed out?
11. Do all the CSCE forms have the signature and call sign of 3 of the VE’s at the session?
12. Did you remember to return the original copies of all CSCE forms (from other sessions), if any, to the appropriate examinees?
13. Did you attach photocopies of any applicable CSCE forms (these would be forms presented by the applicant that were earned at some previous session).
14. Did you remember to rewind the code test tape, remove it from the tape recorder, and put it back in the exam kit?
15. If any person was missing a required item, such as a copy of a license or CSCE form, that will be needed before their paperwork can be filed, do they know who to contact when they have the missing items? And how to make contact? And where to take or send the missing items?
