Retake Policy

A failed part may be retaken while the other part remains valid, but both parts must be passed within the 12-month approval period. A candidate must wait at least 24 hours to reschedule and sit again. After three unsuccessful attempts, the candidate must document review of deficiencies with a Board-approved provider, complete an examination-preparation course, or complete a Board-approved 15-hour continuing-education course if not previously taken. After six unsuccessful attempts, the full applicable initial education must be repeated. A current 15-hour code-update course is also required when the item bank changes to a later code, regulation, or law.

Through all these exams, one thing became clear: exam prep is expensive. But with AI, we can change that. Quality preparation can now be free for everyone.
