(1) Cheating by an applicant in applying for, taking, or subsequent to taking the examination will invalidate any score otherwise earned by an applicant on any test section of the examination. Cheating may warrant summary expulsion from the test site, and disqualification by the board from taking the examination for a specified period of time. For purposes of this rule, the following actions or attempted activities, among others, are considered cheating:

(a) falsifying or misrepresenting education credentials or other information required for admission to the examination;

(b) communication between applicants inside or outside the test site or copying another applicant's answers while the examination is in progress;

(c) communication with others inside or outside the site while the examination is in progress;

(d) substitution of another person to sit in the test site in place of an applicant;

(e) reference to crib sheets, textbooks or other material, or electronic media (other than that provided to the applicant as part of the examination) inside or outside the test site while the examination is in progress;

(f) violating the nondisclosure prohibitions of the examination or aiding or abetting another in doing so; or

(g) retaking or attempting to retake a test section by an individual holding a valid certificate or by an applicant who has unexpired credit for having already passed the same test section, unless the individual has been directed to retake a test section pursuant to board order or unless the individual has been expressly authorized by the board or testing service to retake the test section.
