Associate exam retake rules
Our Associate exam appointments do not include a free retake. Your purchase pays for a single appointment. To retake an Associate exam, you will need to purchase another appointment.
The retake restrictions for our Associate exam are as follows:
- You must wait 7 days between exam attempts.
- You can only attempt an exam 4 times total in a one year period. If you fail 4 exams, you must wait 365 days after your last exam to retake it again.
- If you have passed the exam, you can not retake it until your credentials expire.
Do these retake rules apply if I miss my appointment?
Yes. If you miss your apppointment, you will need to purchase a new appointment to take the exam.
If you missed your appointment for a documented emergency, submit a ticket for support.
