Which statement about licensure examinations is true?

Licensure hinges on demonstrating competence through a passing score on the required exam. The licensing board grants the license only to those who have met this standard, along with any other prerequisites like education or experience. So the statement that a passing score is required before licensure is true reflects how the process typically works: you must show you can meet the competence benchmark before you’re licensed. The other options don’t fit because licensure exams aren’t optional in regulated fields, the exam isn’t something you wait to take after years of practice, and you don’t usually need to pass after you’ve already applied for licensure—the license is issued once you’ve passed and met all requirements.
