What happens to your permit if you fail any portion of the exam while working under it?

If you fail any portion of the exam while working under your permit, the correct outcome is that your permit becomes void. This means that the individual is no longer authorized to practice under that specific permit, as passing the exam is a crucial component of maintaining valid licensure in the field.

This scenario underscores the importance of successfully completing all required examinations; failure to do so invalidates the permit, signaling that the individual has not yet met the necessary qualifications to practice legally.

In contrast, options such as suspending the permit or allowing continued work do not accurately reflect the consequences of failing the examination. These actions would imply that the individual has some temporary ability or status that is not consistent with the regulations governing the practice. Additionally, the requirement to redo the application is a separate process that may not be necessary if the permit becomes void due to exam failure. The direct result is that the permit is unrecognized until the applicant passes the required examination.
