SPEX Exam Retakes
Self-nominated examinees are limited to 3 attempts within a 12-month period. Examinees may retake the SPEX after the initial attempt with no waiting period and submission of a new application and fee. A third attempt requires a mandatory 90-day waiting period from the previous attempt. Any subsequent attempts require a one-year waiting period from the initial attempt.
Board-sponsored examinees, at the sponsoring board's discretion, may not be subject to the same waiting periods. Any additional reexamination eligibility requirements and procedures for unsuccessful examinees are established by the individual licensing boards pursuant to their statutes and regulations.
NOTE: The SPEX program considers the latest score achieved by an examinee to be the "official score" for the respective examination and has made recommendations to this effect to the individual licensing boards. However, the individual licensing boards are ultimately responsible for determining what scores within an examinee's history meet the board's examination requirements for licensure. Certified transcripts of SPEX scores provided to the licensing boards by the FSMB list all SPEX scores achieved for a given examinee.
