* Under reasonable circumstances, a learner may not able to the take the simex as scheduled. The same learner may be allowed to take the simex in the immediately succeeding schedule. Failure to do such shall be considered as having waived the privilege to take the 2nd simex.

* A learner who fails to take the second or rescheduled simex shall be considered withdrawn from the course, had obtained an insufficient score in the simex, and the corresponding access to the learning materials shall be disconnected.
