   Upon rejection of any application, the applicant shall be promptly notified of such fact and the reason therefor, whereupon he may, within three (3) working days after receipt of such notice, show cause, in writing, why such application should not have been rejected. If any such inquiry from a rejection is pending at the time an examination is scheduled to be held, the applicant shall be allowed to take the examination pending a decision in such inquiry.
