4.6.1. What happens if I do not pass?

Diplomates are provided with more than five attempts within their 10-year cycle to reach the minimum passing standard five times.

Once submitted, questions cannot be retaken. If you do not pass a year, simply move onto the next one available.

Keep in mind, each year of the questions have a five-year shelf life, so it is advantageous to begin the questions in the first five years of your ten year cycle.
