If you fail the Aptitude testing the first time you will now be on a 3 months stand down instead of 6 months and can attempt the test for the 3rd time after 12 months after the first test.

The stand-down period allows you time to personally upskill on the areas that you are weak at. After 6 months, you will then be invited to re-sit. If you are focusing on academic study to upskill your knowledge, talk to your Candidate Engagement Facilitator to see what is best for you.

the second attempt is your final opportunity to pass the assessment. if you don not pass, we will be unable to proceed with your application. Take the time to upskill yourself in the areas that you are weak in.
