Retaking CISSP exam w/o waiting for results!?

in SSCP
Ok, I believe I asked this question once before but didn't get a clear answer. Today I emailed (ISC)2 and received a response.
Question - If a candidate takes the CISSP exam and doesn't want to wait for the results before retaking the exam, is this allowed?
Answer from (ISC)2 - Yes this is allowed but the candidate will be wasting money if he/she passes the first exam.

Good to get it from the horses mouth and I think everyone has to agree with the wasting money side of it
If anything, just assume you failed and spend extra time studying. Doesn't make sense to waste that kind of money.

This is really, really good advice. Don't spend the money until you know you failed, but there is absolutely no reason whatsoever you can't start reviewing and studying for a potential re-take if you did. At worst, you might be delayed a day or two in scheduling the exam after getting your score, but if you've waited six weeks to find out you can probably wait an additional 24-48 hours or so to sit for the exam. At best, you reinforced what you learned and know even more about the security domains than you did when you sat for the exam.
