True or False: In Washington, a candidate who fails the journeyman plumber exam may retake it immediately the next business day, with no waiting period.
Not quite. The answer is B: False
Washington imposes a mandatory 14-day wait between exam attempts, even though retakes within the candidate's one-year eligibility window are otherwise unlimited. The waiting period exists so a candidate has real time to study the material they missed instead of guessing again the next day on the same weak spots.
