Certification Retake Policy

A certification retake policy is established by each vendor, to let you know when they will allow you to retake exams if you failed on your first try.

If you don't pass the exam on the first attempt you don't have to wait to retry. This is true for the second try as well. However if you don't pass on the third try, you must wait 30 days before you can sit the exam again.

If you fail your exam, you must wait five days before taking the exam again.

If you don't pass the exam on the first attempt you can retake it at any time. If after the third try you don't pass, you have to wait 14 days before you can sit for it again.

If you don't pass the exam on the first attempt you don't have to wait to retry. This is true for the second try as well. However if you don't pass on the third try, you must wait 30 days before you can sit the exam again.

If you fail your exam, no matter which attempt it is, you must wait at least 30 days before retaking it.

For your second attempt, you must wait 24 hours. If it's your third attempt and so on, you must wait 14 days.

Anyone who takes an LPI exam once must wait one week before re-taking.

Anyone who takes an LPI exam a second (and subsequent) time must wait 90 days before re-taking.

Anyone who passes an LPI exam may not retake that exam for at least two years.

Please double check each vendors website for their retake policy, as their policies may change.
