Hi, I'm really embarassed about this, but I actually failed the exam. Is there a limit to how many times I can take it?

Thanks!

Hi. I would check with your medical school. Generally, I don't think they have a limit, but I'm sure it varies from school to school. If you are not in school (FMG) then I think the answer is no, there is not a limit.

Best of luck on your next exam.

State boards set limits on how many attempts one is allowed for licensure.

most state boards state you have to pass the exam within 3 tries.
