(a) The Board shall hold regular examinations twice a year in the Virgin Islands on the second Wednesday of June and November for admission to practice chiropractic. The examination shall have a written and an oral component, and shall cover such subjects as the Board prescribes, which, in accordance with accepted medical and chiropractic standards, are adequate and sufficient for proper evaluation of an applicant's qualifications to practice chiropractic.
(b) Candidates for admission to practice shall be required to attain a general average of 75% in the subjects on which the candidates were examined, but may not attain a grade lower than 65% in any subject.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, the Board may accept or require any or all parts of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Examination in lieu of any or all parts of the Boards' written and/or oral examination when the Board determines that the exams are of equal or greater value than the Virgin Islands exam.
