If you cannot obtain the required information for an admission assessment, licensing expects documentation of at least how many attempts to comply with reasonable effort?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is demonstrating that you’ve made a diligent, documented effort to obtain information when it isn’t readily available. Licensing expects you to show you’ve tried multiple times through different channels over a reasonable period, rather than giving up after one contact.

The minimum typically required is three documented attempts. Each attempt should note when you reached out, how you contacted them (phone, email, letter), and the outcome. This creates a clear trail showing you pursued the information and complied with reasonable effort requirements.

If, after three tries, you still don’t have the information, you should document the barriers and follow any policy for escalation or alternative verification. Three attempts represent the baseline for showing due diligence in this situation.
