   (a) A broker course shall be required to have three (3) written examinations with each examination consisting of one hundred (100) questions. A total of two hundred twenty-five (225) points from the three (3) examinations is required to pass the broker course.

  (b) Dates of all examinations must be announced to the students at least one (1) day in advance, and examinations shall be evenly spaced throughout the course.

  (c) All examinations must be administered in the scheduled class session under the supervision of the course instructor. Take home examinations may not be credited toward the required passing score in the course.

  (d) The total score to pass a course can be based only on scores earned on the required in-class examinations. Class recitations and quizzes cannot be used to supplement or take the place of examination grades.

  (e) Total security shall be provided for all examinations prior to, during, and after administration. Questions may not be distributed to students or discussed in class in advance. Students shall be prohibited from copying an examination after it has been administered.

  (f) Any examination and the answers for each student shall be retained by the sponsoring school for at least one (1) year. Examinations may be made available to students only for personal review in a supervised situation after the examinations have been graded and scores recorded.

  (g) Examinations administered in broker courses shall not be taken from the school premises under any circumstances.

  (h) Administration of makeup examinations shall be at the discretion of the course instructor. If makeup examinations are permitted, and the student is taking the examination prior to other students in the class, the same examination that will be used for the class shall be administered. If the student will be taking a makeup examination after other students in the class, a different examination shall be used; however, the examination must cover the same subject content.

  (i) Each real estate school shall establish a written policy prohibiting cheating in its approved courses. (Indiana Real Estate Commission; 876 IAC 6-4-4; filed May 22, 2014, 11:50 a.m.: 20140618-IR-876140061FRA, eff Jul 1, 2014)
