  credentialing body approved by the Director. Examinations shall be conducted at least
  twice a year, except that examinations need not be conducted when no one has applied
  to be examined. (b) Examinations administered and the procedures of administration shall be fair and reasonable

  are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. The examination
  shall not be designed or implemented for the purpose of limiting the number of licensees.
  The Director, with the advice of the advisor appointees, shall establish, by rule,
  fixed criteria for passing the examination that shall apply to all persons taking
  the examination. (c) The Director shall administer a written examination on the basic and clinical sciences
