Can I retake the SERU Exam or re-schedule?

If you decide to reschedule, kindly submit your request in writing, seeking additional time for preparation. It’s crucial to note that all new applicants are required to successfully pass this examination before obtaining their license. Therefore, it’s advisable not to postpone your efforts indefinitely. We are here to support you throughout this process.
