Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: 180 days

The waiting periods are: after the 1st or 2nd failure = 30 days. After EVERY 3rd failure (3rd, 6th, 9th, etc.) = 180 days (6 months). This structure gives candidates 2 quick retakes before imposing a significant cooling-off period for additional study.
