You need 90 days recent time in the last 3 years… it might be 5. With out this you are probably screwed. If you have this, the 1 year in 5 just means you will not have to do the take home exam. if you do not have 1 in 5, but do have the 90 day recent time, then you will be required to do take home exams. Spend the 100 bucks and ask a license consultant, only then will you be 100 percent certain of what you need to do.
