I did not pass the Power User exam after 3 attempts. What should I do for retake options?
Hello @acesetti,
If you do not pass after 3 attempts, please email certification@splunk.com for retake options. If you have not taken the recommended courses, you will be required to do so before you can take the test again.
For every attempt there is 125$ needs to be payed and after 3rd attempt if candidate fails then he needs to request certification@splunk.com requesting for 4th attempt.
is retake of the exam is free ?
No, Pearson VUE now charge for when you sit the exam. So you will be paying per attempt...
RETAKE POLICY
Candidates who do not pass an exam on their first attempt must wait 7 days to retake the exam.
second attempt must wait 14 days to retake the exam.
Wait time begins the day after the attempt.
Subsequent retakes are as follows:
● Third attempt 4 weeks or 28 days
● Fourth attempt 8 weeks or 56 days

Retakes beyond the 5th attempt will be considered on a case‑by‑case basis. Splunk reserves the

You can send an email to certification@splunk.com in order to request them to give one more chance. I think they will give one chance based on your previous scores.
