# how to pass the Florida dental hygiene laws and rules exam

Answer: The Florida Dental Hygiene Laws and Rules exam (FHLR) is a closed-book, computer-based exam at Prometric test centers: up to 64 multiple-choice items (including up to 5 unscored field-test items), 90 minutes, 75% to pass, $105 per attempt including retakes, with pass/fail results in 2-3 business days. By rule 64B5-2.0135(2)(c) no more than 3% covers Chapter 456, Florida Statutes — the rest comes from Chapter 466 and Division 64B5, concentrated on hygienist scope, the three supervision levels (direct, indirect, general), delegation, and dental charting. Study the rule texts in force since June 1, 2026. Florida publishes no pass rate for this exam, and every licensure pathway — including MOBILE endorsement — requires it.
