If a candidate does not pass the CFRE written examination, the candidate will automatically be sent a current schedule of upcoming examination sites and dates and a re-examination application within two (2) weeks of the receipt of their scores.
Applicants who retest within one (1) year of their original exam administration will pay a special reduced fee for a maximum of two (2) re-takes. Their original application will remain valid for this one (1) year period and the candidates will not be required to meet any additional eligibility requirements during this time.
If the candidate has not chosen to re-take the exam within the one (1) year time period or has failed the re-examination(s), he or she would be required to submit a new application and pay all applicable fees. At this time, the candidate would be subject to any new eligibility criteria which may have been implemented.
