Take It Again is a voucher program, offered worldwide, by IBM Professional Certification. With Take It Again you may purchase specially priced vouchers so that in the event you do not pass an exam on your first attempt, you may quickly and easily retake the same exam for no additional costs.

Here's how it works

  1. Obtain your Take It Again voucher from the Prometric Take It Again Web Site (link resides outside of ibm.com).
  2. Using the voucher number, schedule and pay for your initial exam.
    (Note: To be eligible for the free retake, you must provide the TIA voucher number when scheduling this original testing appointment.)
  3. Take the exam.
  4. If you do not pass the exam you may register to take the same exam again using the same voucher.
    (Note: After taking the original exam, please wait a minimum of one day before attempting to register for the retake. This will allow time for the original test results to be entered into the system.)
  5. There is no additional charge for retaking the exam.
