    Thought I could get a quick answer to this here without calling the board first.

    I applied through the state of WV to sit, and I hope to pass my last section this window. I don’t have experience yet.

    If I pass all 4 parts under WV state board, would I be able to get my experience requirements met while working in another state? In other words, do I have to work in WV or can I work in another state and still apply for my license in WV after completing the experience?
