The points are assessed against your driving record based on the date that violation was committed, not the conviction date.

If your driving record accumulates 11 or more points within an 18 month period, your license will be suspended or revoked. You can reduce up to four points from your driving record and save up to 10% on your auto liability insurance premiums by completing a DMV approved accident prevention course.

You can use the point reductions once a year. If you have already taken the accident prevention course within the year, regardless of whether you received a point reduction, you will not be able to reduce any points by taking the program again until a year has passed. Also you can not apply the point reduction as a credit against future points.
