How the plan sets your priorities
Your Unofficial score report with performance feedback shows how you did in each content domain. Use it to rate each one below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the content domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each content domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all content domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the EPPP
Your board must approve each retake and may set its own waiting period or limit; ASPPB allows no more than four attempts at either part in any rolling 12-month period and recommends waiting about 90 days.
- maxAttempts is ASPPB's cap per rolling 12-month period, not a lifetime limit; boards may be stricter.
- ASPPB sets no mandatory wait; the September 2026 handbook recommends about 90 days from the last test date (the retake web page does not mention 90 days).
- A new Authorization to Test must be assigned by the board in Clarus for each retake; the full fee is paid again.
- After the integrated EPPP launches (Q4 2027), only candidates who failed Part 1 before the launch can retake Part 1, through March 31, 2028.
- The retake web page still refers to the old Certemy portal; the September 2026 handbook says registration moved to Clarus on September 29, 2026.
