En caso de que no apruebes el examen A+ en tu primer intento, las políticas de repetición de CompTIA son las siguientes:
- CompTIA no exige un período de espera entre el primer y el segundo intento para aprobar dicho examen. Sin embargo, si necesita un tercer intento o posteriores para aprobarlo, deberá esperar un período de al menos 14 días naturales a partir de la fecha de su último intento antes de poder volver a presentarse al examen.
- Si un candidato ha aprobado un examen, no podrá volver a presentarse sin el consentimiento previo de CompTIA.
- Los resultados de las pruebas que infrinjan la política de repetición no serán procesados, por lo que no se otorgará ningún crédito por la prueba realizada. Quienes infrinjan repetidamente esta política serán excluidos del Programa de Certificación CompTIA.
- Los candidatos deben pagar el precio del examen cada vez que lo intenten. CompTIA no ofrece exámenes de recuperación gratuitos ni descuentos por repetir el examen.
