Suggested retake approach
- Review your score report and isolate the sections you failed (national vs. state portion).
- Re-study only the weak areas — do not repeat the whole syllabus if you were close.
- Schedule the retake as soon as the rule allows, but only when you are consistently passing practice sets at or above the passing score.
- Confirm the retake window and fee on your official score notice — it overrides any general rule.
Requirements change — verify with your state board before applying.
