Regarding Pearsonvue exam results

[ISHAMISRA]

Hi all, I took the CAD exam yesterday and before I submitted my exam, I counted the number of correct answers and was confident enough to pass, however, the result said that I didn't pass. Is there a way that I can get my results checked again?

Also, I had missed my first attempt due to a technical glitch in their app and I lost the second attempt. So is there a way that I can get one more free attempt?

Hi @ISHAMISRA 

There’s no way to change or recheck the result once it has been published—it’s final.

Since you didn’t pass the first time (don’t be discouraged—it happened to me as well), you can review the percentage breakdown for each area and use that to prepare more effectively for your next attempt.

The good part is that you don’t need to pay again for this retake. Take your time, prepare well, and then go for the exam again. Free attempt not possible. You need to pay mate.

What if I’m registering for a retake with a waiting period period?

In this case, the 90-day scheduling window begins after the waiting period period ends.  Example: If you register for a retake on December 1 with a 10-day waiting period, your scheduling window will run from December 11 to March 11.

Can I retake exams?

Yes, you can retake mainline exams such as CSA, CAD, CPOA, and CIS as many times as needed. A retake fee is required for each attempt.  The retake fee is $150 for the CSA, CAD, & CPOA exams, and $225 for all CIS exams. There is a 3-day waiting period between the first and second attempt, 30 days between the second and third. All subsequent attempts require a 6-month waiting period.  NOTE: A retake applies if you fail, miss, or do not show up for an exam and wish to attempt it again. Partner and customer discounts are applied at the time of payment.  For retaking an exam, refer to Retaking a high-stakes (mainline) certification exam.

What happens if I miss, fail, don't show up for exam or don’t schedule my exam within the allowed time?
