quick question RE: Board application

hi, i'm new to this. i just have a quick question regarding my board application. i applied to the vermont board of nursing to take my nclex exam last year, August 2004 to be exact, they approved my application and i had contact with pearson vue at that time also. i just needed to notify vermont when i can do the exam, but due to some circumstances i was unable to sit for the nclex and now a year later would like to do the exam. my question is: is my application to the vermont board still valid? i am aware that i will need to repay the fee to pearson vue as that application had expired. can anyone help me wth this. thanks in advance.
