How many attempts are allowed for the State Officer Certification Exam (SOCE)?

The State Officer Certification Exam (SOCE) allows candidates up to three attempts to pass the exam. This policy is designed to provide individuals with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills necessary for certification as a state officer, such as a corrections officer or law enforcement officer. The rationale behind allowing multiple attempts is to offer candidates the chance to learn from their previous experiences and improve their performance. Each attempt gives candidates the opportunity to study further and potentially succeed in passing the exam, which is crucial for ensuring that only qualified individuals are certified for these important roles in public safety.
