3.05. Examinations shall be graded without reference to the application or personal identification forms which have been completed by the applicant.

3.07. The Commissioner may furnish, for a fee, study guides for the use of persons preparing for the examinations given under the Act. The fees for this material shall be sufficient to cover the cost of printing and postage.

(a) No applicant or licensee testing in any qualified supervisor or certified operator licensure category shall use any outside information not provided by the Commissioner or his designee while taking a closed book examination, remove any examination question or answer sheets from the room where the examination is given, nor shall any applicant or licensee cause any examination question or answer to be disseminated to any person not employed by the Commissioner by any means whatsoever.

(b) No applicant or licensee testing for a private applicator license, or person proctoring a private applicator test session, shall cause any examination question or answer to be disseminated to any person not employed by the Commissioner by any means whatsoever.
