PRC Clarifies: Retakers Can Still Become Topnotchers — What Resolution No. 1814 Really Means

This article discusses the essential aspects contained in PRC Resolution No. 1814, Series of 2024. The resolution reiterates that individuals taking their licensure examination twice are qualified for the title of being a topnotcher. Contrary to the common myth believed by many individuals, ranking is assessed based on their present standing, rather than the number of attempts. Hence, the individual is considered for top ranking as long as he or she takes the whole examination and fulfills all of its requirements. Aside from providing information about the regulation, this article sheds light on the implications of the policy change. The rule change conveys a strong message, indicating that failure does not mean disqualification from attaining success.
