Hello @acesetti,

If you do not pass after 3 attempts, please email certification@splunk.com for retake options. If you have not taken the recommended courses, you will be required to do so before you can take the test again.

You can send an email to certification@splunk.com in order to request them to give one more chance. I think they will give one chance based on your previous scores.
