Rules that shape the plan

• US$317 per part, paid to PSI when you schedule; cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead to keep it.
• Schedule at least 24 hours ahead. After a failed attempt, wait 24 hours before booking that part again.
• Up to 4 attempts per part in each window.
• A passed part counts for 3 years, so passing one part now still counts after the window closes.
• A pass or fail message appears on screen when you finish, so you know straight away whether you need the retake buffer.
