do I have to retake the WBI?

[jenniy122]

I read somewhere, I'm not sure where now as I've been reading everything possible about the CP, that if you've done the WBI in the past 6 months you don't have to do it again when you reapply. I applied in October and was rejected, and now am applying again for fall once applications are up, so will I have to retake the WBI?

The results are valid for 6 months.

If someone completed it and moved on to the phone interview, they will not have to do it again if they reapply within 6 months.

If they did not move on to the phone interview, they will have to wait until their previous results expire before they can do it again.

Due to the way their recruiting period land, if someone did it in the Fall and did not move forward, there is a possibility that they may not be able to do it again during the Spring because their 6 months had not yet passed.

Thanks. I did pass/move on to the phone interview last time.

oh boy, i am currently freaking out. in october i submitted an application and took the WBI and passed, but found out right after due to family issues that i could not do the DCP in the spring, so i did not continue on the application process. i did not realize there could be a penalty though - do i have to wait 6 months to reapply? any ideas?
