Important information

All exams MUST be submitted on current state exam forms, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Exams submitted on facility forms will not be reviewed by the Commission, and will be returned to you to be rewritten onto state exam forms. This is the only way for the Commission to evaluate all applicants fairly.

Common mistakes, and how to avoid them

  • Instead: Send them in on the latest state exam form (2022 version). The Commission will not evaluate exams completed on facility-specific forms or old forms.

  • Instead: Double check that you are sending in the state exam form, pages 1-15, as well as the Medical Treatment and Follow-up-Referrals form, pages 1-2.

  • Instead: Include medication names and dosages. Explain “unknown” or “attempted” answers. Note when patient declines an option.

  • Instead: Send in the state exam form, pages 1-15 and the Treatment and Referrals pages. Other medical records, Consents, SAVE Fund Applications, or extra exams will be shredded.

  • Instead: Make sure ALL identifying information is blacked out or removed, this includes dates, names, addresses, and Kit and Case numbers. Refer to the instructions if you’re unsure what information this includes.

  • Instead: Only one nurse may sign a form. If another nurse is observing or serving as a preceptor they should be listed as present during the exam on page one of the form.

If the Commission feels they cannot fully evaluate your competency for the reasons above or any other reason, you will be asked to send in additional information during the next application cycle.
