Sorry, but your friend is completely wrong.
The exam needs to be paid for again with Pearson-Vue as well as fees to the state where you are wishing to get licensed.
That is why there is nothing on the BON website about this because what she told you does not exist.
Same way that we hear that the ATT can be used more than one time as long as it is in the period before it expires. This is also not true as it can only be used one time and then it is gone.
You will receive a packet from your state if you did not pass including what to do to register again. Just wait for it.
Noticed that you mentioned someplace about using my program. One of my requirements is that you wait at least a week before starting to prepare again, not sure if you have done that.
