How many times can I retake the dMAT exam?
There is no limit on how many times you can sit the dMAT exam. You can retake it as many cycles as you need to improve your score, but each attempt requires a separate registration and a separate fee through the d-mat.de portal, so factor that cost into your planning.
If your first dMAT attempt does not go the way you hoped, you have room to try again, since the exam does not limit your number of attempts. There is no cap on how many times you may sit the dMAT.
Retake Rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Maximum attempts | None, unlimited |
| Registration per attempt | Required separately each time |
| Fee per attempt | Charged separately each time |
Planning A Retake
- Each retake follows the same cycle structure, so you need to register within the next available window, not on demand.
- Because there is no late registration, you must plan a retake around the next confirmed sitting, currently expected in the first quarter of 2027.
- Retaking costs you both time and a fresh fee, so weigh whether targeted preparation would raise your score before committing to another sitting.
My Advice
Before registering for a retake, review exactly which subject module or section pulled your score down and spend focused weeks on that gap rather than repeating broad revision. A targeted retake is far more likely to move your result than a repeat attempt with the same preparation.
