A candidate who fails the SIE exam three times and has waited the six-month moratorium period is preparing to take the exam for the fourth time. Which of the following is true?

  1. The candidate will receive a simplified version of the exam

  2. The candidate will have to wait another six-months if the exam is failed on the 4th try

  3. The candidate will be banned from retaking the exam

  4. The candidate automatically passes

The correct answer is: The candidate will have to wait another six-months if the exam is failed on the 4th try

On the fourth try, the six-month moratorium period will have been completed and the candidate will no longer be banned from retaking the exam. However, if the exam is failed for a fourth time, the candidate will have to wait another six-months before being able to take it again. Option A is incorrect because the exam does not change based on the number of attempts. Option C is incorrect because the ban is lifted after the six-month period. Option D is incorrect because the candidate must still pass the exam in order to become licensed.
