What is reTEST Assured?

Taking an examination can be stressful, and while the majority of our candidates are successful on the first try, some are not. To relieve a bit of stress, HPCC has implemented the reTEST Assured Program, which offers any candidate who was unsuccessful, the opportunity to retake an exam for $125. The reTEST Assured Program must be used in one of the three test windows immediately following the exam window in which the candidate was unsuccessful.

How to apply

  • Complete the reTEST Assured application and email the form to ampexamservices@psionline.com (mailed or faxed applications will NOT be accepted)
  • Return your application to PSI exams by the exam application deadline for the testing window you would like to schedule an exam.
  • Once the form is received and processed, you will receive a notification from PSI with instructions on submitting payment and scheduling an exam.
