SPEC Eligibility
Establishing Eligibility
In order to establish eligibility for SPEC, you must meet all of the following requirements:
- You must hold or have held a license to practice chiropractic. The license may have lapsed, been suspended or revoked, etc.
- You must provide written authorization from a state board or international licensing agency to take SPEC. The authorization form is part of the application. This form must bear an official state or national seal or stamp as well as an authorizing signature.
The NBCE does not limit the number of times you may take SPEC; however, this policy is unrelated to individual licensing agency policies regarding the recognition of examination scores.
Note: SPEC is not for initial licensing purposes and does not replace NBCE Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV.

Where Can I Take The FCLR Exam?
The NBCE offers FCLR at Prometric Testing Centers throughout North America.
After completing your application, you will then proceed to the scheduling section of the application.
How To Register At The Test Site
- ARRIVE EARLY. If you arrive late to an exam, you will not be admitted. Your exam fee(s) will be forfeited and you will need to reapply for another administration date.
- At registration, you must show one form of identification, which must be a valid government-issued photo ID. NOTE: A Digital ID will not be accepted. If your ID is expired, you will not be able to test - funds will be forfeited. After ID has been renewed, you will need to reschedule and pay for another administration.
When Will I Get My FCLR Score? What Is The Passing Score?
Within two weeks following the exam, the NBCE will post your score to your MyNBCE account. You will not receive scores at the testing center.
The Florida Board of Chiropractic Examiners requires a passing score of 75%. If you score below 75%, you will be required to retake the examination. You can apply to retake the exam at your earliest convenience.
Fees
The fee for the Florida Chiropractic Laws and Rules Exam (FCLR) is $95.
If you receive a failing score on FCLR, the retake fee is $95.
