Retake Guidelines

Retake policies apply to all assessments - scores that do not follow the policy waiting periods are not valid and will not be recorded for course eligibility. 

  • To retake the same level of WAMAP remotely, complete this form: Retake Request  
  • You will be locked out until your test is reset. Allow two business days for processing (no weekend processing). Once confirmed, you can retake the test.

    Wait times between attempts:

    • 1 day after the first attempt
    • 7 days after the second attempt
    • 30 days after the third attempt

    For a new WAMAP level, wait one day and request a new Access Password. If multiple levels are taken on the same day, only the first attempt counts.
