Applicants who do not achieve a passing score or who fail to complete the examination process are ineligible to be considered for the current vacancy or any other vacancies requiring the exam for which they applied. These applicants are (a) notified that they are not eligible for the vacancy, and (b) given the date when they will be eligible to be retested.
An applicant may, but is not required to, retest on or after the retest date shown on the Notice of Results. He or she must apply under another vacancy announcement requiring the same exam. If an applicant chooses to retest, the new result will be used for that and future applications, regardless of whether it is higher or lower than the previous result.
An applicant must retest if he or she applies for a job requiring the same examination after the expiration date on the Notice of Result.
