Retaking the Exam

  • Each user is granted one free retake

  • Beyond the free retake, additional retakes must be purchased

  • There is no limit to the number of times you can retake the exam - Retake options may still appear in your account even after passing, which is normal behaviour and part of the optional retake feature.

Retake Timing

You can only start a retake 48 hours (2 days) after finishing your current exam attempt. Purchased retakes are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Certification Outcome

If you pass and then later fail, your passing status remains valid, and you will still be certified.For instance, if you pass the PT1 exam on your first attempt, retaking and failing it later would not revoke your initial certification.

If you want to improve your score or gain additional practice, you can confidently utilise retakes without worrying about losing your initial certification.

Additional Information

  • Retakes follow the same exam format and rules as the original attempt

  • Ensure you have sufficient preparation time before attempting a retake
