How many times are you allowed to fail an exam?

guys
very silly question but how many times are you allowed to resit a CPL exam? Is there a limit to this at all or you just go and keep on retaking the exams till you pass?

Apologies in advance but this is out of curiousity and the CASA website doesnt mention anything that goes past 3 times.

Thank you all.
Richie

After more than three failures the maximum retraining period applies, ie 28 days. This is on the CASA website.

Big question though mate, why? There's so many fantastic training manuals out there, and lots of excellent ground schools to help get you through these exams.

i failed my irex 3-4 times.. when i went for my atpl they considered rejecting it, however that might have had something to do with the fact that it was also a conversion from FAA atpl.

I remember hearing somewhere that if you failed an ATPL subject 3 times you had to re-sit the lot again... however don't quote me on that, that is simply hearsay.
