Correction of the ChE Licensure Examination papers must be completed within how many days from the last day of examination?

• A. 15
• B. 10
• C. 20
• D. 30

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding how licensure boards pace the finalization of results. After the last day of the examination, the answer sheets are collected, graded, and any verification or moderation steps are completed to guarantee fair and accurate scoring. This work takes practical time to handle scoring, cross-checks, and potential clarifications, so a defined window is needed. Fifteen days strikes the right balance: it gives enough time to complete scoring and finalize results, while still letting candidates receive their outcomes in a timely manner. Shorter periods, like ten days, could squeeze the process and risk accuracy or consistency, whereas longer periods such as twenty or thirty days would unnecessarily delay licensure without added benefit in most cases.
