This article outlines the process for test organizers to enable a free rewrite, letting candidates retake the test with their current authorization. Typically, test authorization is granted upon purchase and is a one-time privilege. You can find more information on how to create test authorization in the following article. However, exceptions apply when candidates face issues, allowing the test organizer to offer a free rewrite.
