What to do if you don't pass one portion of your exam the first time:
If you don't pass the Technical portion of your exam, you can retake
the exam by reapplying for it with the
Department of Professional Regulation and paying the required fee for each additional
retake. If you do not pass
this exam within three tries you will then need to complete seven hours of Continuing
Education in order to take this again.
You will also need to redo your application completely and resend the required fee with
your proof of Continuing Education.
If you do not pass the Business portion of your exam then you can take
this test again after 21 days by contacting
Pearson Vue. Again, you have three tries to pass this exam. If you do not pass this exam
after three tries, you will
need to take 7 hours of Continuing Education to reapply to the state to retake this for
the 4th time.
