Retake Exam InformationA failed candidate may re-test either exam (Qualifying Examination or Oral Clinical Cases Examination) twice. This means a candidate has a total of three attempts to complete either the Qualifying Examination or Oral Clinical Cases Examination. For both examinations, there will be two opportunities each year. The Qualifying Examination is usually offered in January and June, and the Oral Clinical Cases Examination is usually offered in-person at the Spring Annual meeting or remotely as a Retake Exam (via Zoom) four to nine months after the Spring meeting as determined by the Board. A candidate may be admitted for re-examination within the five-year period following their initial Qualifying Examination. If the candidate cannot pass the examination after three attempts, the candidate must retake the entire exam: BOTH the Qualifying Examination and Oral Clinical Cases Examination. A retake candidate must initiate a new application process including new fees. The retake candidate may be required to show proof of additional training set forth by the Board to qualify for additional examinations. There is a non-refundable re-examination fee for the Qualifying Examination and the Oral Clinical Cases Examination.
