How soon after a failed division can you retake the ARE?

• A. As soon as 60 days after the previous attempt.
• B. Only once per year.
• C. Immediately the next business day.
• D. 90 days.

Answer: (A)

After a failed division, you must wait at least 60 days before attempting that division again. This 60-day waiting period gives you time to review what went wrong and adjust your study approach before retaking. The next business day is not allowed because a defined waiting period is required; 90 days is longer than the minimum, and being limited to once per year would contradict the standard 60-day rule. So the earliest you can retake is after 60 days.
