To protect the integrity of ISACA’s certification exams, ISACA has implemented the following retake policy: 1. Individuals have 4 attempts within a rolling twelve-month period to pass the exam. Those that do not pass on their first attempt are allowed to retake the exam a total of 3 more times within 12 months from the date of the first attempt.  Please note that candidates must pay the registration fee in full for each exam attempt. To illustrate: After taking and not passing the exam (attempt 1): Retake 1 (attempt 2): Customers must wait 30 days from the date of the first attempt Retake 2 (attempt 3): Customers must wait 90 days after the date of the second attempt Retake 3 (attempt 4): Customers must wait 90 days after the date of the third attempt 2. Individuals who pass the exam are restricted from taking the same exam within the application time period of 5 years. 3. Certification holders are restricted from taking the same certification exam while they are certified.
