Anyone found cheating will automatically fail the test and will have to wait at least 56 days before being allowed to take the test again. If it’s not the first time that person has been caught cheating, that person will have to wait at least 90 days.
You must wait at least 7 days before being allowed to take the test again. You will have to make another appointment and pay the test fees again.
