Wisconsin Questions

I am in the process of applying for my license in Wisconsin.   (have a 4 year degree, licensed in FL for 20+ years and Indy for 1.5 years)    

It's confusing to say the least, and a recent email from them has me really perplexed.  There is a reciprocity avenue, and I have been approved to Take the jurisdictional test, but then was also told that I have to do a complete application to get a license.  As if it's two different processes.....   Does that seem right?   In FL and INDY, when you are approved to take the test and pass, you are issued a license.   Why would I take the test and not be licensed?  

Any advice from my northern neighbors would be appreciated.  

thanks.
