What must an applicant do if they fail the written test?

An applicant who fails the written test is typically required to wait a specified period before retaking the test. This waiting period is often implemented to allow individuals time to study and prepare more thoroughly, ultimately increasing their chances of success on the next attempt. This policy ensures that applicants are adequately prepared for the material and the requirements of the licensing process, promoting a better understanding of the knowledge necessary for safe and effective transportation services.

The other choices do not align with standard practices. Scheduling another test immediately may lead to repeated failures without proper preparation. Submitting an appeal for retest is usually reserved for specific circumstances or grievances, rather than a standard procedure following a failed attempt. Taking the test online may not be an option for all applicants, depending on available formats and regulations, making it an unsuitable response to the situation described.
