Retaking in 90 days unfair?

it seems unfair for people to retake the test.
Is it possible that they get the same RC passages?
Or similar science questions?
How does it work?

When are you taking yours?

Well, I am not retaking, but I just thought of this.
I haven't even take on yet.
Taking mine in the end of August....maybe. not sure yet.

On here (well on the predental board) I have heard of someone getting the EXACT same test. Which does seem pretty unfair...

The "exact same test" and the exact same results.(!?) The 90 day waiting period was probably intended to prevent applicants from prematurely retaking the test without at least having enough time for review.

Im not arguing with the timing as far as the 90 days go... im not really arguing with anything... Im just saying if someone got the same test, its pretty unfair... If i recall that person did MUCH better time #2...

No one studies for a retake with the thought of getting the EXACT same questions. They'll study everything (or their weak points).

What will happen with the exact same test is that they'll most likely get the same questions right, and then get some of the other questions right as well. They'll still know the material. There's no score report/breakdown so they don't know which questions were correct or not. They can't look at a question and say 'oh I got this one wrong and I put that answer so it's probably this other answer'.

No but there were some crazy questions on Bio I had... and of course I came home and looked up the answers cause I wanted to know what that was all about...

I mean Im not getting all bent out of shape about it... Is it 100% fair... no... but do I really care? Not to much

I am one of those people that has to go every question (to find out if I got it right) that I can remember if I didn't get all the questions right in that section.
After all, the best practice for the test is the test...
