27. A Missouri licensee neglects to complete her continuing education requirement and fails to renew her license. Which of the following may she be required to do if she applies for renewal 3 months after her expiration date?
Answer: D
She may be required to complete the appropriate pre-examination course, then retake and pass the examination.
If a Missouri licensee applies for renewal three months after her license has expired, she must complete the appropriate pre-examination course and successfully pass the examination to regain her license.
A) Pay a delinquent fee of $400 in addition to the license fee and complete the continuing education requirement.
This option is incorrect because while it mentions paying a delinquent fee and completing a requirement, it does not specify that she must complete a pre-examination course and retake the examination, which is the actual requirement for those who renew after their license has lapsed.
B) Pay a delinquent fee of $200 in addition to the license fee and complete the continuing education requirement.
This option is also incorrect as it suggests a lesser fee and the completion of the continuing education requirement rather than the necessary pre-examination course and examination that must be completed after a license has been expired for three months.
C) Pay a delinquent fee of $150 in addition to the license fee and complete the Missouri Real Estate Practice course.
This choice is incorrect because it specifies the completion of the Missouri Real Estate Practice course, which is not the requirement for renewal after a license has expired for three months. The requirement is to complete the appropriate pre-examination course and pass the examination.
D) Complete the appropriate pre-examination course, then retake and pass the examination.
This option is correct as it accurately reflects the requirements for a licensee in Missouri who applies for renewal after her license has expired for three months. It indicates the necessity of a pre-examination course and passing the examination, which aligns with state regulations.
Conclusion
The need to complete the appropriate pre-examination course and retake the examination is a clear requirement for license renewal after the expiration date. Options A, B, and C fail to mention this critical step and instead suggest incorrect fees or outdated requirements, confirming that D is the only accurate choice.
