Which set of months represents the required check-in months for violent sex offenders and violent juvenile offenders?

• A. January, February, March, April
• B. February, May, August, November
• C. March, May, September, December
• D. March, June, September, December

Answer: (D)

Check-ins are scheduled on a fixed quarterly cycle, four times a year, with equal three-month gaps between each check-in. The set of March, June, September, and December fits this pattern exactly, being three months apart each time and covering the year evenly.

Other options fail because they do not maintain that consistent three-month spacing or they start in a different month than the required schedule. For example, one set clusters early in the year with irregular gaps, another starts in February, and another has an irregular interval between March and May. Therefore, the March–June–September–December sequence best matches the required quarterly plan.
