How is a missed testing appointment for the Washington plumbing exam treated, per L&I's exam policy?
Not quite. The answer is C: A failed attempt, counting against the candidate's retake eligibility
A no-show is counted as a failed attempt, and it also forfeits the exam fee — which means the 14-day wait before a retest starts running from that missed date. Cancelling or rescheduling at least 2 days before the appointment (through PSI's website or by speaking to a representative, not by voicemail or email) avoids both penalties. It is not a permanent bar from testing, but it is not free either.
