How many times can a candidate take the General Standards Exam in six months?

Candidates may take the General Standards Exam up to three times within a six-month period. This allows individuals to have multiple opportunities to successfully pass the exam and demonstrate their knowledge and competency in the subject matter. Establishing a limit of three attempts helps maintain the integrity of the certification process while still providing candidates with sufficient chances to improve and prepare for subsequent attempts. By allowing three tries, it encourages individuals to invest in their studies and understand the material more thoroughly before attempting the exam again.
