RESULTS & RETAKES

Your result and your next step.

Keep the result email safe. It matters for both retakes and your MVV timeline.

01

When will you hear?

DUO sends your result by email within 8 weeks. The PDF shows which sections you passed.

02

If you have not passed everything

Register and pay again for the part you did not pass. Passed parts remain valid until you pass the whole exam. Use the result to focus your next practice sessions.

03

When you pass the whole exam

Apply for your MVV within 1 year of passing. Otherwise you must retake and pass the whole exam. Put that deadline in your shared calendar.

ONE SMALL NEXT STEP

You don’t need every answer to start learning.

Make a short list of your questions. Then separate your learning goals from anything that needs legal advice.
