If you fail
If you fail: Wyoming retake rules
You can retake the written test the same day: the same test may be taken twice in one day, so you do not have to wait for the next business day. You may not take it a third time that day, and if you miss 13 or more questions you must wait 3 days to retest. WYDOT publishes no cap on attempts and no written-test or retest fee: its fee table lists a $40 original Class C license fee plus a $5 technology fee, but no test line item. The examiner sets the wait to retake a skills test.
- written (knowledge) test, 2nd attempt same day after failure number 1: you may retest the same day.
- CDL written (knowledge) test - same-day retake allowed only on a different version (CDL) after failure number 1: you may retest the same day.
- Attempt limit: 2.
- Retest fee: the agency does not publish a per-attempt retest fee that we could confirm.
Some retake details for Wyoming are not published by the agency (Agency does not publish: retake fee), so confirm them with DOT before you rely on them.
