District of Columbia permit test retesting
The handbook says six consecutive failures; the current knowledge-test page says six failures within a 12-month period. The website also specifies three full intervening calendar days, illustrated by Tuesday-to-Saturday. Both positions remain recorded; no resolution is assumed.
The handbook requires a 3-calendar-day wait after failure. After six consecutive failures, the next attempt must wait until 12 months after the first failure.
Wait three full calendar days after failure; a Tuesday failure permits a Saturday retest. Six failures within 12 months delay attempt seven until 12 months after the first failed test.
Retest timing scope
Cheating results in failure and a 60-day wait before another attempt.
