I'm getting ready to take my performance test again next weekend and I just wanted to make sure that I have two years to present from the time of the performance test? This is what I got from the rules unless I misunderstood. Is this correct?

An applicant has three (3) years from the date of the performance test to present his or her test blade, Performance Test Certification Form, and five (5) completed knives at the ABS Annual Show and Meeting for judging by the ABS Judging Panel. If the applicant does not complete both phases of the test within a three (3) year time period, the applicant must reapply and complete the performance testing process again.
Nevermind. I found it. It's 3 years.
