  Some VE Test sessions will LIMIT the number of retest attempts, because
of time constraints. With most test sessions, only one (1) retest of a
failed element is allowed. If you fail the exam for a particular license
class twice in one session, it's best that you study some more before
trying again. With COVID-19, some sessions may limit testing to one (1)
exam ONLY, to minimize potential exposure to those in attendance.

  If you need to take a break between tests (to stretch your legs, use
the restroom, etc.) you may do so. However, as noted above, CHEATING, IN
ANY FORM, WON'T BE TOLERATED!! The Volunteer Examiner Team will CONSTANTLY
BE OBSERVING ALL EXAMINEES during ALL tests, to make sure that this is
the case!!

  There is NO RUSH to complete the test...as you're more likely to make
errors if you do!! Take your time, and answer the questions that you know
FIRST. Go back to the ones you're not sure of, and save the difficult ones
for last. If you do have to GUESS, do it INTELLIGENTLY. You have a 1 out
of 4 chance of getting the question right, without doing anything.

  If you leave a question blank...or mark more than one answer per question
on the answer sheet, it is AUTOMATICALLY a WRONG ANSWER...and it could be
the difference between PASSING and FAILING the exam!! If you have to CHANGE
your answer, make sure you notate it as such. However, unless you're quite
sure, your first choice is usually the correct answer.

  If you finish the test early, turn your test booklet, and answer sheet
into the VE Team...once you're satisfied that "you've done the best that
you can do". PLEASE REMAIN QUIET, until everyone else has finished their
exams as well. Disruptive behavior by examinees or observers will NOT be
tolerated, and the disruptees will be dismissed from the test session. If
the VE Team gets "too loud", please ask them to "tone it down to a low
roar", as it were.

  Per Part 97.519, of the FCC Rules:

(d) The FCC may:
 
(1) Administer any examination element itself;
 
(2) Readminister any examination element previously administered by 
VEs, either itself or under the supervision of a VEC or VEs designated 
by the FCC; or 
 
(3) Cancel the operator/primary station license of any licensee who
fails to appear for readministration of an examination when directed 
by the FCC, or who does not successfully complete any required element
that is readministered. In an instance of such cancellation, the person
will be granted an operator/primary station license consistent with
completed examination elements that have not been invalidated by not
appearing for, or by failing, the examination upon readministration.

  Note that unlike a VE Test Session, if you fail the readministration
of an exam before the FCC, you will NOT be allowed to take another test
that same day.
