(1) Retests must be administered in a test form not previously taken by the examinee and in compliance with the testing service requirements.

(2) Candidates who previously received a Montana high school equivalency credential may retest if higher scores are required for employment or admission to a postsecondary institution. Retesting for this purpose requires prior approval from the state HSE administrator in the Office of Public Instruction. Candidates shall show proof that retesting is necessary by presenting a written request on official letterhead stationery signed by the agent requiring higher scores, stating the reason the higher scores are necessary.
