What Retakers Who Pass Do Differently
What actually changes between a failed attempt and a passed retake?
Sample data, illustrative only
The figures below are placeholders to show what this report covers. They are not findings. Live numbers from real, anonymized diagnostics replace them once the dataset is large enough to be meaningful. See the methodology below.
| What they changed | Link to passing (sample) |
|---|---|
| Targeted their two weakest domains instead of re-studying everything | — sample — |
| Drilled codebook navigation speed, not just content | — sample — |
| Ran a full timed mock before the retake | — sample — |
| Booked the retake date up front | — sample — |
What it tells you
- The pattern we expect to confirm: retakers who pass narrow their focus instead of re-running the broad prep that failed them.
- These figures are illustrative until the real retake dataset is collected.
Methodology
Compares the prep behavior of candidates who failed then passed against those who failed twice, anonymized and aggregated. Live figures replace the sample below once enough retake journeys are collected.
