Practical retake plan

Most candidates pass on retake

Second-attempt pass rates are commonly reported around 60–70% for major state exams. This is general study guidance, not an official statistic.

Study the weak areas for 2–4 weeks

A focused window of 2–4 weeks targeting only the sections you missed is usually enough — but re-book only when practice scores are consistently at or above the passing standard.

Budget for the retake fee

The retake is a separate charge from the first attempt. Confirm the amount before re-booking.

Read your score notice

Your score notice states the earliest retake date and any attempt limits. Follow that document — it overrides any general guidance.

Retake advice above is general study guidance, not official state policy. Official rules come from your score notice and the state board.
