The waiting period for retesting after failing a FINRA exam for the first two attempts is set at 30 days. This regulation allows candidates a sufficient amount of time to review and prepare for the material before attempting the exam again. It is designed to encourage thorough preparation and to promote a better understanding of the content, which ultimately results in higher pass rates. The 30-day interval is a standard practice to help maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the testing process, ensuring that individuals are not retesting too quickly without addressing the reasons for their initial failure. This waiting period is part of FINRA's broader efforts to maintain high standards within the industry by ensuring that candidates are adequately prepared before they reattempt the exam.
