State-specific exam

published An examination for a license to practice chiropractic, required of applicants by A.R.S. 32-922; A.R.S. 32-922 gives it no name. The act provides that it shall be conducted at a time and place designated by the board at least semiannually, shall be in English and practical in character, and shall include material relating to chiropractors and Arizona jurisprudence and the subjects listed in A.R.S. 32-922(B) (A.R.S. 32-922(A) and (B)). The board shall grant a license to an applicant who meets all of the requirements in A.R.S. 32-922(D); one is that you correctly answer at least seventy-five percent of all questions on those subjects or attain a board approved passing score on them in an examination administered by a board approved testing facility (A.R.S. 32-922(D)(1)).

The board may waive examination in subjects you passed previously with the percentage of correct answers prescribed in A.R.S. 32-922(D), in an examination conducted by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (A.R.S. 32-922(C)).
