Atpl ground school resits

[Hollywood316]

I've done a quick search on here and cannot find a clear answer.
How many exam fails can one have before all is lost or how many resits can be attempted.(refer jaa ATPL ground exams):confused:

[sicky]

i think its 4, but im not 100%

[Peter_CDG]

correct - max. 6 sessions and 4 attempts per paper

[sega]

Over a period of 18 months from the initial testing.

[helicopter-redeye]

Clock starts from date of first exam.

18 months to have passed all 14 (13 for Heli) from the date of the first exam.

Can sit a paper up to four times (ie fail 3 and pass on the 4th go) else you start again.

Have a total of six sittings in which to attempt and pass all 14 (13 H) else you start again.

Thus the most economical route is sit 14 in one sitting and then mop up any 'non passes' in a second or third.

Or sit 7 then 7 within 18 months,

Or 5:5:4

etc

Just in case there is someone from elsewhere relying on this: this is the UK rules. They used to be more restrictive elsewhere, although I don't know now.
