Prometric/Microsoft wrote: Microsoft Exam Retake Policy If a candidate does not achieve a passing score on an exam the first time, the candidate must wait at least a 24-hour period before retaking the exam. If a candidate does not achieve a passing score the second time, the candidate must wait at least a 14-day period before retaking the exam a third time. A 14-day waiting period will also be imposed for the fourth and fifth subsequent exam retakes. A candidate may not take a given exam any more than five times per year (12 months). This 12-month period would start the day of the fifth unsuccessful exam retake. The candidate would then be eligible to retake the exam 12 months from that date. In order to take a given exam more than five times per year, a candidate must submit a request and obtain prior permission from Microsoft. If a candidate achieves a passing score on an exam, the candidate cannot take it again. Beta exams may be taken only once. This policy supersedes the general retake policy. In some cases, Microsoft may have special policies for specific exams.
